Despite his desire for a new contract, there is reportedly not an expectation within the NFL that the Pittsburgh Steelers will trade superstar pass-rusher T.J. Watt.

“T.J. Watt was openly told, ‘You’re fortunate to be a Steeler,’” Kinkhabwala said via Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot. “And his response was, ‘You’re fortunate to have me.’” Kinkhabwala likened this exchange to the current mindset of the Steelers, and hinted that it could be something standing in the way this time around.
