As the rumors swirl around the Pittsburgh Steelers and defensive stud T.J. Watt, there has been speculation around the contract negotiations and if the end result would end in a shocking trade. While there have been some to disagree with the Steelers paying Watt, the latest reporting showcases how the team is weighing all options when connected to the star pass rusher.
With both sides deep in contract negotiations and the thought that Pittsburgh would want to keep Watt, the latest from Mark Kaboly, team correspondent for The Pat McAfee Show, and has been on the beat since 2002, could say otherwise. Noted by Andrew Fillipponi, the team “have inquired around the league” to see what the potential value of Watt would be, meaning they are “doing their due diligence.”
“Pat McAfee Steelers insider [Mark Kaboly] says the Steelers have inquired around the league to see what TJ Watt’s trade value is,” Fillipponi wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Called it ‘doing their due diligence.’ That’s a big change in the TJ Watt discussion from a big-time Steelers insider.”
