In today’s NFL, it’s tough for the best players to remain with one team for their entire careers. Players like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Von Miller have suited up for multiple franchises. Free agency and the trade market make it easier for players to move around the league. That can be especially true when a player is involved in a contract dispute. T.J. Watt is dealing with that right now, not reporting to mandatory minicamp. However, according to insider James Palmer, the Steelers want Watt to be with them for his entire career.

“T.J. Watt, this is one where we went through a really difficult negotiation last time, I think that was 2021,” Palmer said Wednesday on Bleacher Report’s YouTube channel.
