The future Hall of Famer is not headed to the Consumer Value Store, it seems
The next ex-player who will join an NFL broadcast network will be J.J. Watt, which probably won’t come as a surprise to even the most casual football fan.
However, it seems like Watt came dangerously close to accepting a job as a cashier or a role in the pharmacy as opposed to studio analyst.
Watt took to Twitter on Thursday morning and posted a video with the caption: “I just got a job at CVS.”
Six minutes later, and with his hat flipped to the front, Watt corrected his mistake and announced he would be joining the CBS Sports broadcast — not the Consumer Value Store founded in Massachusetts some 80 years ago.
Watt, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and a future Hall of Famer, is the latest former player to be added to a broadcast network. Legendary quarterback Tom Brady, who announced his NFL retirement less than two months after Watt, plans to join the FOX broadcast.
CBS Sports confirmed that Watt signed a multi-year contract, will serve as a studio analyst on the network and will make his first appearance coming with the “NFL Today” crew in Week 1. The details of his contract were not released.
