Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward ill personally let general manager Omar Khan know that he's not trading T.J. Watt.

Dallas pays Parsons, on an extension beginning after this year’s option, more than Watt’s $41M per year and more than Garrett’s $123.3M in guarantees.

The New England Patriots have already made a multitude of moves this offseason, and another could be around the corner.

Pittsburgh afforded itself some security by re-signing the star pass rusher to a three-year, $123 million deal ahead of what could be a challenging training camp and season.

With less than three weeks until Steelers training camp, a new trade prediction sends T.J. Watt to the Patriots.

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.

Here's a look at the NFL's highest-paid defensive players list after T.J. Watt's extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Should the Steelers have any level of interest in trading Watt, there are quite a few teams around the NFL who would love to have a chance to acquire him. He is coming off of a 2024 season that saw him rack up 61 tackles, 11.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and four defended passes.

A suggested trade between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles would send a young star and a draft pick to the former, while jettisoning star edge rusher T.J. Watt to the reigning Super Bowl champions.

The Steelers have no intention of moving All-Pro edge rusher T.J. Watt, but they are still exploring his trade value amid a contract standoff.
