The Pittsburgh Steelers came to terms with their first outside unrestricted free agent just one day ahead of the start of the 2020 NFL league year and it’s fullback Derek Watt, brother of outside linebacker T.J. Watt. Not only was the Steelers reported deal with the former member of the Los Angeles Chargers a bit of a surprise, it now brings into question the immediate future of the team’s fullback for the last five seasons, Roosevelt Nix.
Immediately after it was reported that the Steelers had come to terms with Derek Watt, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette tweeted that the team will now be releasing Nix, who played in only three games last season due to a knee injury.
