Things feel a lot different between the Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt right now, compared to how things felt back in 2021 when the two sides were negotiating a contract extension.
Watt is a few years older and on the wrong side of 30, while the Steelers have a new GM in the mix with Omar Khan, compared to Kevin Colbert back then. The pass rusher market has changed drastically, too. And the way the Steelers go about business has seemingly changed some as well.
So, a week out from the report date for training camp in Latrobe, things feel a bit contentious between Watt and the Steelers.
