Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images A new report revealed a surprising reason why this will likely be TJ Watt’s final season with the Pittsburgh Steelers . Watt is going to go down as one of the greatest players ever for a franchise that has quite a few of them. Over his nine seasons in the Steel City, Watt has gone to the Pro Bowl in every season except his rookie year, is a four-time All-Pro, and earned Defensive Player of the Year honors when he posted a ridiculous 22.
5 sacks in 2021. He already leads the franchise in sacks and QB hits, and can take the No. 1 spots for forced fumbles and tackles for loss this season.
He is a Steelers legend. However, as great as his run has been, including playing a key role in six trips to the playoffs, all good things come to an end. And this might be Watt’s last year in Pittsburgh, even though he has two more years on his contract after 2026.
Teams think TJ Watt could hit the trade block next spring Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images On Thursday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler explained that the team wants to hold on to linebacker Nick Herbig after making more progress in 2025 and posting 7. 5 sacks in a part-time role. He is only 24 years old, and another good season will make him a top free agent target for many teams next spring.
