Though T.J. Watt is still without a contract extension, NFL insider Dan Graziano expects that to change before the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the New York Jets Sept. 7. Weighing in on Watt’s outlook, Graziano expects a deal to get done sooner or later.
“Steelers get these deals done generally later in the offseason,” he said Friday on ESPN’s Get Up. “So I would imagine T.J. Watt gets a contract extension at some time between now and the start of September.”
As Graziano said, Pittsburgh usually doesn’t get deals done early. Instead, most of its contract talks heat up in June with many agreements reached after the team breaks training camp.
