In an appearance on 93.7 The Fan on Friday, Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly said Watt would “probably” command a second-round pick in a trade, which the Steelers might consider if negotiations reach a “point of no return.”

Last season with the Steelers, Watt played in all 17 regular season games. He racked up 61 tackles, 11.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and four defended passes. Those numbers make the Pittsburgh superstar one of the best defensive threats in the NFL.

In order to accomplish that, he'd have to get a bigger deal than Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who currently holds that title with a four-year, $161 million deal, which works out to $40.25 million annually.

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt has been the subject of conflicting trade rumors as the offseason wears on.
