Tyrann Mathieu is heading to Houston, and JJ Watt loves it.
The Honey Badger agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with the Texans, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Watt learned of the news and sent this perfect tweet featuring some honey pot emojis.

This is a huge addition for the Texans. Mathieu remains an excellent playmaker and was dropped by the Cardinals after he declined to take a pay cut.
Mathieu, who turns 26 in May, had 78 total tackles, a sack, and two interceptions last season. He was spectacular in 2015, making 89 tackles with five interceptions in 14 games.
The Texans are clearly prioritizing their secondary this season, as they’ve signed Aaron Colvin in addition to Mathieu.
