While Watt was honored for all he accomplished this past season, the Steelers have been busy in the offseason, and Fox 4 Kansas City asked Pittsburgh’s star defender how he felt about the moves the Steelers made for Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
“I’m excited for both of them,” Watt said. “To be able to have some big-time new faces and some guys who have played at a high level. Especially Russ, a guy who’s won a Super Bowl in the locker room. I’m just hoping I can learn something from those guys, and hopefully show them how things are done in Pittsburgh, as well… I haven’t won a playoff game my whole career there, so I’m open to any type of information where we can continue to get better and hopefully those guys can help us do that.”
Watt continued.
“It’s a tough, competitive league. There’s so much parity, especially just even in our division. You look at all the quarterbacks, I’m just glad that we have one.”
Dallas Cowboys wisely selected Dak Prescott 135th overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. He’s since become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and is coming off a season in which the Cowboys had the highest-scoring offense in the league.
While Prescott hasn’t had the playoff success that Jerry Jones and Cowboys fans dream of, several teams would be thrilled to have a quarterback who can perform like the 3x Pro Bowl QB has. As Prescott, 30, prepares to enter his ninth NFL season, one would think his future in Dallas is set in stone, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
For now, Prescott is set to enter the final year of his contract in 2024, meaning he could be setting himself up to hit the open market, just like Kirk Cousins has. As we saw, the Falcons made Cousins a godfather offer he couldn’t refuse, despite his loyalty to Minnesota. What would happen if Prescott faced a similar situation?
