Just as it seemed things couldn’t get any worse for the Houston Texans, it now looks like JJ Watt wants to leave the beaten-down franchise.

With the team at 1-6 on the season, having already fired head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien earlier in the year, the defensive end was asked Wednesday if he wanted to spend the rest of his career with the Texans.

“I don’t think it’s any secret that I don’t have 10 years left in this league,” Watt said. “I personally believe that I do have a few more great ones left in me… I’m not looking to rebuild. I’m looking to go after a championship, and that’s what I want to do. So, whatever is in the best interest of the Houston Texans, that’s in the best interest of myself.”

Right now, the Texans don’t have much going for them outside of Watt and quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Thanks to some questionable moves by O’Brien when he was the GM, Houston doesn’t have a pick in the first two rounds of next year’s draft. And with losses piling up, that first-round pick – which belongs to the Dolphins – figures to be very high.

The 30-year-old Watt is in his 10th season with Houston, who drafted him with the 11th overall pick in 2011.

His career has been impacted by injuries. Watt has played in all seven of Houston’s games this year, but he’s played in all 16 games in a season just once since 2015.

Watt has one more year on his contract, but none of the $17.5 million for 2021 is guaranteed.

Houston’s downfall has been swift. It won the AFC South each of the previous two seasons and reached the playoffs in four of the previous five years under O’Brien.

Now, the Texans have just a lone victory, over the 1-6 Jacksonville Jaguars, and little draft capital moving forward as they search for a new GM and coach.

“Early in your career, you think life goes on forever,” Watt said. “Obviously, we win our first-ever division, our first-ever playoff game in my first year. In the second year, we go 12-4, and you think that life’s going to be great and you’re just going to keep getting better and better. And then you go 2-14 and the reality of the business side of the NFL and the reality of all the things that come along with it hit you in the face.

“And you realize that, oh, this isn’t all roses all the time. And then you look at the last seven years or so. And yeah, we won some division championships and that’s great, but that’s not the goal. That’s not the goal.’’

Instead, it’s to win it all.

“Your goal can’t be to make the playoffs,” Watt said. “Your goal can’t be to win one or two playoff games. If your goal is not to win the Super Bowl, and your goal is not to do everything in your power to make that happen, and make your organization in the best possible situation for that, then that’s not going to happen. So that is my goal. That’s why the work goes in. That’s why I fought back from all these injuries. Because that’s the goal, and that’s what I’m still working towards.”
