Pittsburgh Steelers star linebacker TJ Watt is entering the final year of his contract, and the lack of an extension has made him the subject of offseason trade rumors.

TJ Watt has one season left on the lucrative four-year, $112 million extension he signed in 2021. The Steelers rarely let a franchise superstar start a season in a contract year, so the lack of an extension for Watt up to this point is certainly newsworthy.

The Steelers are supposed to be in win-now mode after acquiring Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey in a trio of blockbuster moves. Would GM Omar Khan really consider shopping his franchise star?

During an appearance on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, The Pat McAfee Show Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly reported that the Steelers are doing their “due diligence” on TJ Watt’s trade value:

“I’m just saying, (the Steelers) are obviously inquiring what that might be. If it gets to the point where it’s a point of no return, maybe that second-round pick becomes very handsome.”

In their history, the Steelers have rarely let a player leave via trade or free agency in their prime, unless it was a bizarre case like Antonio Brown or Le’Veon Bell. It’s still difficult to imagine Watt in another jersey, but the Steelers are better off trading the future Hall of Famer rather than risk losing him for nothing in free agency.

Until/unless an extension is announced, the 30-year-old TJ Watt will continue to dominate the trade rumor mill.

The new-look Steelers will kick off the 2025 season on the road against the New York Jets on Sept. 7. That game, fittingly, will see Rodgers vs. Justin Fields in a showdown of quarterbacks who played on the opposing side a year ago.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
