Colin Cowherd suggests Steelers trade T.J. Watt for rebuild
Summary

On the June 5 episode of 'The Herd,' Colin Cowherd advocated for the Pittsburgh Steelers to trade linebacker T.J. Watt. Cowherd believes the Steelers, with an aging and expensive defense, should focus on rebuilding. He argued that trading Watt, who turns 32 this year, could yield a first-round draft pick and financial relief. The context of this suggestion includes the recent trade of Myles Garrett by the Browns, which Cowherd cites as a comparable move for Pittsburgh. Despite presenting these arguments, Cowherd acknowledges that the Steelers are unlikely to act on this advice.
