Insider Aditi Kinkhabwala claims the Steelers and T.J. Watt once exchanged bold words during contract negotiations.

The Pittsburgh Steelers may not be done refacing their roster. One more big trade may still occur prior to the start of the 2025 campaign. After acquiring cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a swap of late-round draft picks,

"The stalemate is going to be that T.J. Watt wants to be the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. And the Steelers are looking at it that he's age 31. In order to accommodate any kind of large contract, it can't be a three-year deal, it has to be a five-year deal because you need to spread the money out."
