Multiple Teams Talking of Trading for T.J. Watt, Steelers Not Interested in Moving Star

ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUN 30 – The Steelers aim to keep T.J. Watt despite his contract demands and growing trade interest, with multiple teams eyeing the star edge rusher entering his final contract year.

  • Several teams have shown interest in acquiring T.J. Watt from the Steelers during the 2025 NFL offseason, but Pittsburgh remains firm on keeping their star edge rusher and is not considering a trade.
  • This speculation follows the Steelers' recent blockbuster trade for Jalen Ramsey and other roster changes that indicate an evolving team strategy.
  • Watt, a seven-time Pro Bowler and 2021 Defensive Player of the Year, recorded 11.5 sacks and 61 tackles in 2024 despite injuries and missing late games.
  • Watt’s current contract averages just over $28 million annually, below the $40 million salary earned by comparable elite pass rushers like Myles Garrett, whose extension was signed in March 2025.
  • Steelers general manager Omar Khan expressed hope Watt will finish his career in Pittsburgh, indicating that re-signing Watt remains the most likely outcome despite ongoing trade rumors.
