0:00It's March 4th for the NFL. Let's get into it. Follow and subscribe for more team news every day. The San Francisco 49ers had the worst pass rush in the league last year, finishing with the fewest sacks in 2025. Now heading into the offseason, they need edge help even with Nick Bosa and first round pick, Mikel Williams returning from torn ACL injuries. One bull proposal has the 49ers calling the Pittsburgh Steelers to trade for superstar TJ Watt. The suggested deal would send a 2027 first round pick to Pittsburgh in exchange for the veteran defender. Watt turns 32 this fall and dealt with injuries last season, but his track record speaks volumes. Since joining the league in 2017 out of Ohio State, he ranks second in sacks with 115 trailing only miles Garrett. Pittsburgh might hold off until after June 1st to maximize cap savings, jumping from 12 million to 32 million dollars in 20.

1:00That timing can make the trade more appealing for both sides. For the win now, 49ers, pairing Watt with Bosa would be a massive commitment at one spot, likely sidelineing plans to add wide receivers. Still, it could transform their defense heading into 2026.
