    Now Watt?

    Do we ride this out or look for a trade? Dies Watt even want to play for a new HC? Seems like Flores would be the only coach he would want to stick around for but like his fans have said… does he “deserve” to find a team that can win now to finish his career? I think he wants to finish as a Steeler but with Tomlin leaving will those feelings change?

    why would he want to play for flores?
    How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

      Should we be talking about him "deserving" anything when he's making upwards of $30 million per year?

          I do think Watt "deserves" accommodation if he'd like to leave. But not to the extent that it hurts our team. Sadly, dude has leverage should he chose to use it. Massive dead cap hit if he retires. Same if traded but at least we get something in return. Don't be surprised with a trade to a contender of his choosing who is willing to deal. Watts agent could make clear what his clients options are behind the scenes.

          In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

              Didn’t Joey Porter force his way out because he didn’t want to play for anyone but Cowher? I could see something similar happening.

                I believe the rise of James Harrison was part of Joey Porter's departure also. His $ requirements couldn't be met with "Deebo" and Lamar Woodley who was on the rise. ********************************** Let Watt go. We will have to eat some of his money. I don't think anyone out there will pay him his contract. Just like Jeey P' s day we have 3 OLBS who can play as good as Watt right now.
