  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,
