Rams Join Packers, Lions in T.J. Watt Trade Talks

News summary

Pittsburgh Steelers star pass rusher T.J. Watt is at the center of widespread trade speculation due to ongoing contract disputes, with the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams, and Detroit Lions all considered potential suitors. The Packers, who have substantial cap space and Super Bowl ambitions, are reportedly weighing a trade that would require significant draft capital and a record-setting contract extension for Watt. Both the Rams and Lions have the resources and defensive needs to pursue the seven-time Pro Bowler if the Steelers choose to trade him. The Packers are also pursuing other roster upgrades, including interest in Steelers tight end Darnell Washington after Pittsburgh acquired Jonnu Smith, and a possible depth signing of former Raiders cornerback Jack Jones. These rumors highlight the drive among NFC contenders to strengthen their defenses ahead of the new NFL season. While many expect the Steelers to keep Watt, persistent contract tensions could still lead to a major trade.
