Watt on the market? Steelers might get a huge haul for NFL superstar edge rusher"},"content":{"rendered":"

Death, taxes, expect the unexpected in the NFL<\/a>. Those are the three cold, hard truths in life. Even if you think one player will never leave a certain team, it can always happen. In this case, it seems the Pittsburgh Steelers and edge rusher T.J. Watt might get a \u2018divorce\u2019 as both parts can\u2019t seem to get a new deal done.<\/p>\n

If Tom Brady left the New England Patriots<\/a>, anything can happen, especially if not a quarterback. Even if T.J. Watt has become one of the best Steelers in this century, the NFL is a cruel, cruel business.<\/p>\n

According to Mark Kaboly, who is Pittsburgh\u2019s correspondent in the Pat McAfee Show, the black-and-gold team is not throwing the option of trading Watt<\/a> out of the window. In fact, they could be taking a real look into it. Kaboly also appeared on 93.7 The Fan. There, he said the Steelers \u201care obviously\u00a0inquiring to see what (the trading market for Watt) that might be.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not something that Tomlin would like<\/p>\n

Tomlin<\/a> has been adamant that the team is not willing to trade Watt. After all, even if you get a haul, it\u2019s not easy to replace a former Defensive Player of the Year who has been a four-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler. Not only that, Watt is a leader and a captain for this team.<\/p>\n

Mike Tomlin is in danger of losing T.J. Watt<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s hard to envision Watt in another NFL uniform, the Steelers<\/a> might be inquiring what they can get. This contradicts all latest reports coming from Pittsburgh, but maybe that\u2019s desperation sinking in.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Watt is 30 years old, but still at his peak<\/p>\n

Last year Watt recorded 11.5 sacks, 4 passes defended (as an edge rusher!) and also led the league in forced fumbles with 6. He averages 15.2 sacks per year and has reached double-digit sacks in all but two seasons, one being his rookie year and the other being one where he missed seven games due to injury. He has been a top-3 name in the DPOY voting four times, marking his way as one of the best players in the league. <\/p>\n

To get Watt, you must pay, or at least that\u2019s what the logic would tell you. However, you\u2019re getting a guy on his prime, even if it\u2019s the twilight of said prime. The man is an absolute monster and any team could use a T.J. Watt on its roster.<\/p>\n
