Garafolo: Steelers ‘Feel Good’ In Talks With T.J. Watt, Situation Isn’t ‘Contentious’

Now that the Pittsburgh Steelers have handled the biggest question of the offseason by signing QB Aaron Rodgers, the attention turns to T.J. Watt. He skipped out on voluntary OTAs, to nobody’s surprise. But when the Steelers convened on Tuesday for the start of mandatory minicamp, their star pass rusher was not there. And according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Watt won’t be showing up at any point during the three days of practice.

Schefter’s ESPN co-worker, Brooke Pryor, thinks that things are bumpy between the organization and T.J. Watt. She pointed at the infamous Instagram peace-sign post by Watt earlier this offseason as another sign of trouble.
