The Baltimore Ravens took away the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ opportunity at a Super Bowl title in 2024, but one cannot take away the heart of the Black and Gold—especially not the burning desire in T.J. Watt to remain in the Steel City.
On Monday, Watt took the opportunity to make his desires known regarding his future with the Pittsburgh Steelers:
“I don’t want to leave this place. I want to be a part of the solution. I’ve put so much into it here and seen so many guys—I want to help Cam Heyward get to where we need to get.”
Watt continued to reiterate his desire to remain a Pittsburgh Steeler, and his mission to win a Super Bowl for the Black and Gold faithful:
“I love the people here—and that goes beyond just the coaches. It’s the fan base, it’s the people, the community—and we owe it to them to get it right.”
#Steelers LB T.J. Watt doesn’t want to go play anywhere else.

If the Pittsburgh Steelers remain committed to reloading this upcoming offseason—avoiding the dreaded rebuild—they need to get both Watt and Heyward their Super Bowl in 2025, as time continues to run out.
