Watt has only been in the deal with the Steelers for a year and is given the position of one of the best players in the league on both sides of the ball, and he is looking for the next big payday. Fans believe this post points to it.
And some of them predict frustration from number 90.
“It doesn’t look good,” said one X user.
A big payday has arrived for the Cleveland Browns star, one of Watt’s division’s rivals Miles Garrettafter he and his team had not looked to the frontline of the contract, he publicly sought trade.

Garrett and Watt have roughly the same production. Watt, 30, has the most sack in the NFL at 88 since the 2019 season. Garrett, 29, is second with 82.
Watt led the NFL in that category for three seasons, including the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year campaign, which set up No. 19 in 17 games in 2023.
Watt has been nothing more than a strong defensive threat for the Steelers since entering the league in 2017. He also has a strip sack knack and has forced fumbles, so he has 33 league league leads for his career six times in 2024.
