## Resource

ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler suggests the Pittsburgh Steelers could trade T.J. Watt as early as 2027, due to potential salary cap issues with Watt, Nick Herbig, and Alex Highsmith. Watts recent dip in production and impending free agency for Herbig may prompt the trade. The Steelers value legacy players like Watt, but financial constraints could force their hand.
