Watt’s Ross Township mansion, bought for $500,000 in 2017, is now listed at $4.5 million, per Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom estate reflects his deep Pittsburgh roots.

Could Watt, 2021 Defensive Player of the Year, seek a contender? Washington’s Terry McLaurin package tempts, but Khan denies trade talks, per The Athletic.
Fan theories clash—some say Watt’s staying closer to Acrisure Stadium, others dread a farewell. His silence amplifies panic as Pittsburgh chases Aaron Rodgers, per Steelers Depot.
