Could TJ Watt be on the move?
The Steelers have already made a huge move this week.
The Miami Dolphins traded star cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Ramsey will get a $1.5 million raise as part of the deal, boosting his salary to $26.6 million in 2025. Schefter noted the Steelers will pay “the bulk” of Ramsey’s contract.
It appears that this move was done in conjunction with another possible move.
After also acquiring wide receiver DK Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks and signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a one-year, $13.65 million contract, the organization appears ready to go all in on 2025.
A new report shows that the team has internal issues surrounding TJ Watt and the contract he desires.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, multiple teams have approached the Steelers about a trade for him.

Outside interest is likely to increase following the team’s trade for CB Jalen Ramsey.
In 2024, Watt appeared in all 17 games and recorded 61 total tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, two recoveries, and four pass defenses.
The Pittsburgh Steelers already traded superstar safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Miami Dolphins on Monday for cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, “In recent weeks, multiple teams have been discussing whether they can trade for Steelers’ standout T.J. Watt, who skipped the team’s most recent minicamp.
However, Tom Pelissero, citing sources, reports that the Steelers have no intention of trading Watt and that their focus remains on signing him to a new deal.
Nick Farabaugh also received an emphatic and explicit denial from a Steelers source about the idea of trading TJ Watt.
