Nolan Smith may not have T.J. Watt's resume yet, but he has something equally valuable: unlimited potential and the drive to reach it. The Eagles would be wise to hold onto that combination and see where it takes them rather than to give it away in a Steelers trade.

One NFL analyst went so far as to propose the Los Angeles Rams as a trade partner, writing that general manager Les Snead could offer edge rusher Byron Young and one of the team's two 2026 first-round picks for Watt.
