3 T.J. Watt trade packages that could move the needle before 2025 NFL draft 

T.J. Watt might be wanting out of the Pittsburgh Steelers after eight seasons of monstrously dominant individual performance that include a Defensive Player of the Year Award, yet not a single playoff win to show for it.

On Wednesday, the dominant pass-rushing linebacker posted this image of himself flashing the peace sign on his Instagram story:

With him entering the final year of his current contract, General Manager Omar Khan still has some time to broker a deal with a team eager to upgrade its roster.

3 best trade packages for Steelers LB/EDGE TJ Watt

#3. Los Angeles Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers are still reeling from ditching Joey Bosa, who had been one-half of a very intimidating duo alongside Khalil Mack. And with the AFC West suddenly looking interesting in the wake of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl LIX loss, they need an upgrade from the likes of Bud Dupree and Tuli Tuipulotu if they want to clinch the division for the first time since the days of Philip Rivers.

Projected package: LAC receives TJ Watt for Tuli Tuipulotu and a swap of 2026 first-round picks.

#2. Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have filled their Matthew Judon-shaped hole with Leonard Floyd. But one pass rusher is not enough to unseat Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from the top of the NFC South.

They need a dominator who can change the flow and outcome of a game, and someone like Watt could be the key to that.

Projected package: ATL receives TJ Watt for Arnold Ebiketie and a 2026 second-round pick.

#1. Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans' release of Harold Landry created a major hole in their pass rush, something that Arden Key cannot fill on his own. With the Houston Texans looking offensively vulnerable thanks to the firing of coordinator Bobby Slowik, they have a major chance to grab an elite player who can help them dethrone the reigning AFC South champions.

Cam Ward is the obvious offensive move for this team. Now, it is time for them to make their most obvious defensive move.

Projected package: TEN receives TJ Watt for a 2026 first-round pick.
