The Cleveland Browns traded edge Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams for edge Jared Verse and draft picks on June 1, 2026. This unexpected move gives the Pittsburgh Steelers a reference point as they consider a potential trade for edge T.J. Watt. While analysts are not advocating for a Watt trade, they suggest monitoring the market, especially given Watt's $41 million annual salary and the Steelers’ financial situation. The team may evaluate the option of transitioning to younger players while acquiring significant draft capital for future needs.
