Harrison Predicts Watt's Steelers Exit

James Harrison, a former Steelers legend, suggests that T.J. Watt might be released by the team before the 2028 season due to the non-guaranteed money in his contract. Watt, a top edge rusher, has fully guaranteed cap hits of $42 million in 2026 and 2027, plus a $15 million roster bonus in 2028. Trading him could save the Steelers $32 million in cap space, but cutting him now would cost a full $42 million hit with no savings. Despite Watts production dipping, he still has enough impact potential for a couple more years.
