  Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images Would the Steelers send T.J. Watt to the 49ers? T.J. Watt has had Pittsburgh Steelers fans talking over the last handful of days when he posted a cryptic photo of himself flashing the peace sign on his Instagram story. This led to many predicting where he could be traded, with many labeling the Green Bay Packers as his top potential landing spot due to his Wisconsin roots. However, Chris Canty of ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike says the San Francisco 49ers

  Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images Where there’s smoke there’s fire when it comes to the Steelers The Steelers are not shy about revealing their hand leading up to the NFL draft. If they are interested in a player, we will know. Last April, the Steelers drafted multiple players on their pre-draft visit list, including OT Troy Fautanu, OG Mason McCormick, C Zach Frazier, DL Logan Lee, and ILB Payton Wilson. Heck, they even signed Beanie Bishop as an undrafted free agent.

• Steelers mock draft: Pittsburgh trades T.J. Watt, George Pickens

  12-04-2025 18:40 via behindthesteelcurtain.com
  
  Kara Durrette/Getty Images The Steelers get trade happy in latest mock draft Full disclosure: I highly doubt the Steelers will trade T.J. Watt. They should, considering he is now 30, coming off the lowest sack total of his career in a full season since 2017, and the Steelers already wasted his prime so they should get something for him while they can. But, the most likely outcome is that they give him a penny more than $40 million per year as a slight middle finger to Myles Garrett. Nonetheless,

  Barry Reeger-Imagn Images We’re now less than two weeks away from the NFL Draft and the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently rostering just two quarterbacks — Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson. Their pursuit of Aaron Rodgers remains a mystery on both sides.
  Heading into the offseason, many believed GM Omar Khan wanted to retain Justin Fields, who displayed growth last season in black and gold. Fields started the first six games of the season last year for the Steelers and went 4-2 but w

  Photo by Andrew Wevers/Getty Images The Colorado quarterback likely won’t fall to the Steelers The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders to a visit, which got many fans excited about the possibility of the star signal-caller ending up in the Steel City. It would be somewhat of a long shot, of course, considering he is the consensus No. 2 quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft class, meaning the odds of him falling into the 20s are slim.

  Kara Durrette/Getty Images The Steelers’ superstar may want out of Pittsburgh The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a lot of success over the last decade. While they’ve always had a record of at least .500, they haven’t had a playoff win since 2016, making the primes of several players feel wasted. Minkah Fitzpatrick and T.J. Watt have been All-Pro players at their positions and could both end up donning gold jackets in Canton, but the lack of playoff success is the talking

For starters, they are all but certainly signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Next, they could be on the verge of making another blockbuster trade, but being the senders rather than the receivers this time around.
