The New England Patriots are in the market for an elite pass-rusher to help them put pressure on opposing defenses. How far would they be willing to go to trade for one, especially one like Pittsburgh Steelers' former NFL Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt?
Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski had the Patriots parting with a 2026 second-round draft pick, a 2027 third-round pick and veteran safety Jabrill Peppers to land the seven-time Pro Bowl defender.
Sobleski would view the move as a salary dump if the Patriots emerged as the top suitor for Watt.
