Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt has been the subject of conflicting trade rumors as the offseason wears on.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter weighed in on the situation recently during a radio appearance. He also sent a stern warning to Pittsburgh about Watt's contract situation. Schefter's response comes about the possible scenario of Watt holding out into the regular season if the two sides can't come together on a new deal before.
We wrap up an extended holiday weekend with Monday’s “First Call.” It features a schism between T.J. Watt’s trade value and his contract demands. A former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver is trying to find a way back into the NFL.
T.J. Watt and the Steelers haven't yet agreed to a long-term extension, but Pittsburgh appears committed to keeping him.
Last season with the Steelers, Watt played in all 17 regular season games. He racked up 61 tackles, 11.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and four defended passes. Those numbers make the Pittsburgh superstar one of the best defensive threats in the NFL.
