The Pittsburgh Steelers do not seem inclined to trade T.J. Watt, which is bad news for the New England Patriots.

The Patriots boast $61 million in salary cap space, per Spotrac, enough to absorb Watt’s hefty price tag. Yet, a proposed trade, Jabrill Peppers, a 2026 second-round pick, and a 2027 third-rounder, lacks the first-round pick Pittsburgh would likely demand.

With less than three weeks until Steelers training camp, a new trade prediction sends T.J. Watt to the Patriots.
