The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly doing their "due diligence" regarding current contract negotiations with veteran pass rusher T.J. Watt. And while a trade is not expected at this time, if the situation continues to worsen ahead of training camp,

The Pittsburgh Steelers have at least checked in on some potential trade packages for T.J. Watt, according to an insider.

In an appearance on 93.7 The Fan on Friday, Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly said Watt would “probably” command a second-round pick in a trade, which the Steelers might consider if negotiations reach a “point of no return.”

TJ Watt has one season left on the lucrative four-year, $112 million extension he signed in 2021. The Steelers rarely let a franchise superstar start a season in a contract year, so the lack of an extension for Watt up to this point is certainly newsworthy.

While they are continuing to work through T.J. Watt's contract situation, the Pittsburgh Steelers have made no inquires to other teams about possibly trading their star pass rusher, according to Mark Kaboly, the Steelers Correspondent for "The Pat McAfee Show."

While the Pittsburgh Steelers have been very active on their offseason duties, one thing hasn't: T.J. Watt's contract situation. Now, after latest reports said the parts are far from each other, can they get better by trading him?

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the Steelers have no intention of trading Watt and their focus remains on extending the seven-time Pro Bowler’s contract. With the numbers Watt has been able to put up in the last few seasons for the Steelers, it makes sense why they would do everything they can to hold on to the talented pass rusher.
