Sources: Teams mulling trade offers for T.J. Watt
Briefly

T.J. Watt, the Steelers' standout pass rusher, has recently skipped minicamps over contractual frustrations, stimulating trade discussions despite Pittsburgh's reluctance to part with him. With Watt entering the final year of his deal and interested teams emerging, tensions have escalated, especially following a recent high-profile trade involving Jalen Ramsey. Watt aims for compensation comparable to the market's top pass rusher, Myles Garrett. The Steelers remain firm on their desire for Watt to retire with the team, heightening the stakes for both parties.
