The Steelers got one big name finally in the building for mandatory minicamp this week in Aaron Rodgers. However, they’re now without T.J. Watt, who’s skipping mandatory minicamp as he continues to wait on a new contract extension. That’s a familiar situation for Cam Heyward, who had a brief holdout himself last offseason. Speaking to the media after a minicamp practice on Wednesday, Heyward shared some thoughts on both Watt and his feelings during his own negotiations last offseason.
“There’s no reason for teammates to ever get drawn into it, and T.J. [Watt] is doing a good job of that… I think every situation is different, and through time, you wish everything was settled.
