Count the #Bills as one of several teams looking to add JJ Watt. I'm told the Bills have inquired about Watt -- and the interest is definitely mutual.

Watt, 31, spent his entire 10 year career playing for the Houston Texans recording a total of 101 sacks.
Both the Texans and Watt mutually agreed to part ways, last Friday.
The report seems to follow Buffalo Bills star wide receiver Stefon Diggs 'recruiting' the star defensive end via Twitter.
