The Pittsburgh Steelers have a decision to make regarding T.J. Watt's future with the team. Some voices in the Steelers Nation are suggesting that trading the star linebacker could net them the quarterback they need for the future. The argument is based on Watt's age and the potential decline of his performance as he enters his thirties.

If the Steelers had traded Watt this season, they could have received multiple first-round picks and potentially more in return. With those picks, they could address their need for a top quarterback and a star edge-rusher in the next draft. Trading Watt would have set the team up for the foreseeable future.

However, trading Watt is a bold move that most in the Steelers Nation would find ridiculous. Watt has been a crucial part of the team's defense and is still performing at a high level. Additionally, finding a suitable replacement for Watt's production on defense would be a challenge.

While the debate about Watt's future continues, the Steelers will rely on him to be a difference-maker on defense in their upcoming game against the Titans. Whether Watt remains with the team in the long run or not, his impact on the Steelers' success cannot be denied.
