Could Steelers be set to lose star linebacker in 2027?
It's hard to imagine this NFL veteran not in the black and gold of the Steel City, but it could be a reality in the near future.
It's hard to imagine the Pittsburgh Steelers without veteran linebacker T. J. Watt being a part of the equation.
But there may come a time in the not-so-distant future when that becomes a hard reality for Steelers fans. In a recent piece by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, who spoke with NFL coaches, executives, and scouts about potential 2027 offseason moves,many logged predictions that some defensive drama might play out with the Steelers. Nick Herbig, currently the No.
3 edge rusher for the franchise, is a rising name for many teams after tallying 7. 5 sacks last season. And if the Steelers decide to spend big to retain Herbig, who has played just three seasons in the NFL, it could come at the expense of Watt.
Teams could see Pittsburgh considering moving on from T. J. Watt in 2027, per @JFowlerESPN pic.
