00:00A lot of folks in Washington are very interested in T.J. Watt.

00:05Schefter comes out and says a bunch of teams are calling about Watt.

00:09What have you heard?

00:11What is the latest?

00:13I mean, could Watt actually be moved?

00:15I mean, this is an all-time great player,

00:18but it seems like this contract thing is really at an impasse.

00:23I don't think the Steelers have any interest in trading T.J. Watt.

00:26But I would assume that it would have to be a hilariously bad deal

00:33for the other team, for them to even consider picking up the phone.

00:40Everything I've been told is that the Steelers have every intention

00:42to get a deal done.

00:44They're not far apart in terms of the total.

00:48There may be some arguments to be had about the length of the contract

00:52and how deep into the contract the guarantees go.

00:56I'm actually pretty sure that one is going to be a sticking point.

01:00But when the Steelers want to sign him, he wants to stay in Pittsburgh,

01:04and they're not that far apart on the money, you know,

01:08in terms of, like, average per year.

01:11And it's July 1st.

01:13You figure they're going to get there between now and the start of the season.
