As things sit here on July 8, T.J Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers remain far apart in contract talks. Watt reportedly wants to be the highest paid non-QB in the NFL, and guaranteed language in his contract might be the biggest sticking point.
That’s led to speculation that Watt, who skipped out on mandatory minicamp with the Steelers in June, could hold out in training camp later this month in Latrobe. That speculation has even grown to include Watt potentially holding out into the season, missing games with the Steelers to send a message.
