T.J. Watt, Kenny Clark, Trade Speculations Increase Ahead of NFL Draft

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, speculation is mounting about high-profile defensive veterans potentially being traded. The Pittsburgh Steelers' T.J. Watt has emerged as a possible trade candidate due to his age, contract situation, and the rising cost of elite pass rushers, despite his continued strong production. Similarly, the Green Bay Packers face tough decisions with defensive lineman Kenny Clark, whose declining performance and escalating cap hit make him a plausible draft-season trade target. Both situations highlight the broader league trend of teams weighing the value of established stars against financial flexibility and future draft capital as roster needs evolve around the draft.
