Three Teams Propose Trades to Steelers for T.J. Watt Each with Unique Offers

Pittsburgh, PA – April 11, 2025, 06:38 AM PDT. The Pittsburgh Steelers are weighing trade offers for star edge rusher T.J. Watt from three NFC teams.

Watt, with 96.5 career sacks and 11.5 in 2024, remains a coveted force despite his $25 million cap hit in 2025.

Washington Commanders

The Washington Commanders, aiming to support Jayden Daniels, have proposed a blockbuster trade package.

They offer their No. 8 first-round pick, a 2026 second-rounder, and wide receiver Terry McLaurin (1,053 yards in 2024) for Watt, hoping to turbocharge their defense.

Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals, desperate to jolt their league-worst 28-sack pass rush, have put forth a draft-heavy deal.

They’ve dangled their No. 16 first-round pick, a 2026 third-rounder, and edge rusher Dennis Gardeck (3 sacks in 2024) for Watt, eyeing a boost alongside Kyler Murray.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, looking to reignite their 35-sack defense, have crafted a veteran-led offer.

They propose a 2025 second-round pick, a 2026 first-rounder, and linebacker Lavonte David for Watt, betting on his spark to reclaim NFC South dominance.

As a Steelers fan, I’m floored by this 8-segment saga—the Commanders, Cardinals, and Bucs all want T.J. Watt with wild offers! McLaurin and a first from Washington could revamp our offense, but Arizona’s picks tempt a QB grab—Gardeck’s a throw-in. David from Tampa’s gritty, but losing Watt’s 11.5 sacks? Brutal. X must be chaos—I pray Khan keeps him! What’s your call, bro? Tweak it?
