TJ Watt created a stir with a post he made on Instagram Wednesday, and that has sparked some trade talk surrounding him.
Watt shared a photo on Instagram that showed him giving a peace sign. Some interpreted that to mean Watt may have been hinting at a potential departure from the Steelers — the only team for which he has played. Watt has one year left on his existing contract and is due for an extension. In the case that the Steelers end up trading him, we have odds for what teams might acquire him.
BetOnline.ag oddsmakers has listed some of the favorites to acquire Watt if he were to be traded. Here are the odds for the teams that are 14/1 or lower (10 teams have those odds).
New England Patriots 3/1
Seattle Seahawks 4/1
Philadelphia Eagles 5/1
Arizona Cardinals 6/1
Tennessee Titans 7/1
Los Angeles Chargers 8/1
Atlanta Falcons 9/1
Indianapolis Colts 10/1
Washington Commanders 12/1
Dallas Cowboys 14/1
The Patriots would be at the top of the list, followed by the Seahawks and then the Eagles.
Even though he is 30 years old, Watt is still a dominant player. In 17 games last season, Watt had 61 tackles, 11.5 sacks and 6 forced fumbles. Plenty of teams would love to have the opportunity to pay him $30-plus million per season. Perhaps the Steelers will be among them.
