ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that “outside team interest is likely to increase” for Pittsburgh Steelers pass-rusher and Wisconsin native T.J. Watt following the Steelers’ trade for defensive back Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith. As we’ve talked about before, the Steelers have paid the least amount of cash of any team for players since the pandemic season and Watt has an ongoing holdout with the team, as he’s looking for a new contract.
At the moment, Watt has a $21.05 million base salary for 2025, which would be transferred to a team that would potentially trade for the six-time All-Pro.
