There’s one big storyline remaining on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ radar as we inch closer to training camp, and it revolves around T.J. Watt. The star edge rusher is entering the final year of his contract in Pittsburgh. Over the last few weeks we’ve heard plenty of rumors regarding those negotiations, including the idea Watt could develop a trade market. The latest report comes from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, who believes Watt will eventually sign an extension in Pittsburgh. When he does, Pelissero thinks it’ll reset the market.

“I’ve said repeatedly here and elsewhere, I believe that they will find a way, if not before training camp then before the season, to get that done,” Pelissero said, speaking on The Rich Eisen Show this week.
