2. Watt signs with the Chiefs
The Chiefs might be the franchise that need the services of Watt the most. The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense was one of the worst in the NFL. It is a stark contrast to their offense, which was the best in the league.
A defensive stalwart like Watt could be what the Chiefs need to shore up their defense, and avoid conceding touchdowns so easily, something they suffered with during the Super Bowl.

Watt needs to be careful about his decision. He is entering the latter stages of his career. And the temptation to go to a contender would be great. However, he is no longer the player that he once was.
He should select a team where the majority of the defensive load is not on him. But Watt is an intelligent player and will make the decision that is best for his career trajectory.
