With Aaron Rodgers under contract, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ focus shifts to securing a contract extension with T.J. Watt. Both sides seem aligned on working toward a deal, but they obviously aren’t on the same page with the finer details. T.J. Watt tried to ratchet up the pressure by skipping mandatory minicamp in an escalation from his last round of contract negotiations in 2021.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette insider Gerry Dulac discussed the ongoing negotiations in his weekly Steelers chat this morning.
“They want to extend T.J., and likely will, but I’m telling you it’s going to be a tough process,” he wrote.
