Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt was not in attendance for the team’s first day of mandatory minicamp on Wednesday, and with him not showing up, he could be subject to fines. However, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette doesn’t think Pittsburgh will go through with fining Watt, who is looking for a new contract with the Steelers.
“They certainly can fine him, but I don’t think that’s good business for the Steelers. And honestly, $100,000 to a guy like T.J. Watt is like fining you and me 50 bucks. So I don’t think that’s gonna happen,” Fittipaldo said on The Fan Morning Show on 93.
