In search of a new contract, T.J. Watt isn’t in Pittsburgh for the first week of OTAs. Teammate and friend Alex Highsmith says that’s no cause for concern. Speaking to reporters following Thursday’s practice, Highsmith expressed optimism a deal with Watt will get done.
“I’ve been catching up with him all offseason…he wants to be here,” Highsmith said of Watt via the Post-Gazette’s Christopher Carter. “I’m very confident they’re going to get a deal done.”
