A small bite-sized rumor has been flurrying about that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be attempting to work out a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for star pass-rusher T.J. Watt. While, on paper the move to add Watt would be explosively exciting, it remains remarkably unlikely.
Tampa Bay's largest need following their 2024 campaign, through the diagnosis of most, was pass rush (specifically edge-rusher). The Tampa Bay faithful have seen, over the past decade or so, the stark contrast of what Todd Bowles' defense looks like with an elite edge-rusher (Shaq Barrett in his prime) and without an elite edge-rusher.
