Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt reportedly wants to be the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback given his production for the team over the last eight seasons, but the franchise may not agree with those demands.

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

One NFL analyst went so far as to propose the Los Angeles Rams as a trade partner, writing that general manager Les Snead could offer edge rusher Byron Young and one of the team's two 2026 first-round picks for Watt. Whether or not Snead and Sean McVay would entertain such a trade remains to be seen, but the idea is intriguing.
