With Jalen Ramsey, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed a superstar for their defense. One piece in front of the cornerback should also defend Edge Rusher TJ Watt in the future. However, there are now rumors that the NFL fans will not like in the Steel City.
As Adam Schefter reports “ESPN”, some teams in the NFL have discussed a possible trade for watt in the past few weeks. The reason for this is the absence of the defense star at the Minicamp.
Watt goes to the last year of his four -year contract, which gave him $ 112 million in 2021, i.e. 28 million a year. Since Myles Garrett set a new bar in this offseason with its annual content of 40 million, you can quasi call “bargains”.
Watt is 31 years old in October, so it may be before his last major contract and would apparently like to sign it before the start of the season. Since the end of last season, he had not commented publicly, only a picture of him, where he shows the “Peace” sign, caused a lot of speculation in April.
The Steelers can not allow the fact that watts will no longer bear black and yellow in the future. Watt is one of the best pass rusher of the league throughout his career and looks back on 108 sacks in his career.

NFL: Steelers remain busy
The Steelers leadership should now also have time for negotiations with watts. After finally signing Aaron Rodgers a few weeks ago, a trade with the Dolphins had been threaded in the past few days.
These send cornerback star Jalen Ramsey and Tight End Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh and get Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick back. In addition, the Dolphins get a five -round pick in exchange with a sieve round pick.
