Steelers’ T.J. Watt Trade Talks Center on Second-Round Valuation, per Insider

Overview

• Top Pittsburgh reporter Ray Fittipaldo said the most the Steelers could likely get for T.J. Watt this offseason is a second-round pick.
• T.J. Watt has 18.5 sacks across 2024–25 after posting 19 in 2023, and he is on a three-year deal that made him the highest-paid non-quarterback.
• Analysis identifies Washington, San Francisco, Buffalo, Dallas and Green Bay as plausible suitors for pass-rush help.
• One floated scenario packages Watt with pick No. 21 and a Day Three selection to Washington to move up to No. 7, noting the Commanders lack a 2026 second-rounder.
• The Cowboys are highlighted as a fit after a 2025 defense that allowed the third-most yards and a league-high 59 touchdowns following the Micah Parsons trade.
