T.J. Watt was openly told, ‘You’re fortunate to be a Steeler.'' And his response was, ‘You’re fortunate to have me.’” - Insider report.

The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a tricky spot with superstar pass rusher TJ Watt. Since joining the team, Watt has been a dominant force and one of the most important players in the organization.

One NFL analyst went so far as to propose the Los Angeles Rams as a trade partner, writing that general manager Les Snead could offer edge rusher Byron Young and one of the team's two 2026 first-round picks for Watt. Whether or not Snead and Sean McVay would entertain such a trade remains to be seen, but the idea is intriguing.
