When the Pittsburgh Steelers selected outside linebacker Jack Sawyer with one of their first three picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, it was only a matter of time before speculation began on the future of T.J. Watt. With Watt being 30 years old and entering the last year of his contract, the media has been speculating on his future in Pittsburgh. That was kicked into overdrive when he posted a photo of himself with the “peace out” hand gesture a couple weeks ago.
According to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac, the pick of Sawyer has nothing to do with the ongoing negotiations with Watt.
