The thought that the Rams could even be in position to acquire Steelers All-Pro T.J. Watt would have never occurred to anyone before Wednesday. That was until W

Watt, 30, recorded 61 tackles and 11.5 sacks in 2024, also leading the league with six forced fumbles. He's just a few seasons removed from his Defensive Player of the Year campaign in 2021 when he tied the NFL single-season sack record with 22.5. He had another DPOY-worthy campaign in 2023 when he picked up 19 sacks.

"It's the new going rate, and T.J. Watt is obviously in the same conversation as Garrett and Parsons as a player. Wanting the same money from the Steelers simply stands to reason.'' - NFL insider Mike Fisher.

At least one sportsbook knows the history of legendary Pittsburgh Steelers joining the Patriots could lead T.J. Watt to New England.

At a time when plenty of Steelers fans still wonder whether quarterback Aaron Rodgers will say "hello," many are now wondering whether linebacker T.J. Watt is preparing to say "goodbye." Watt's social-media post featuring the seven-time Pro Bowler flashing two fingers in what has morphed from meaning "peace" to "peace out" has prompted speculation that Watt is looking to leave the Steelers.

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt posted a cryptic photo on social media with him holding two fingers in the air as if to say, "peace out".

The Pittsburgh Steelers still need a reliable, starting-caliber quarterback on their roster for 2025. There are only two guys in the room currently. Aaron Rodgers will most likely sign soon, but he also could shockingly opt not to.

The New England Patriots have made big additions to their defense through free agency. Another superstar might be suddenly available through trade.
