Pittsburgh Steelers star pass rusher T.J. Watt is not attending this week's mandatory minicamp amid his pursuit of a new contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Watt, who is entering the final year of his current contract with the Steelers, also skipped voluntary OTA's earlier this offseason as he attempted to negotiate a new deal.
If he misses all three days of minicamp, Watt would be subject to nearly $105,000 in fines.
Though he hasn't spoken publicly since the end of the 2024 season, Watt appeared to telegraph that negotiations weren't going to his liking in April when he posted a picture to his Instagram story holding up a peace sign in a Steelers jersey.
