The ongoing saga of T.J. Watt vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers over a contract extension is moving into another stage. This time, as training camp is right around the corner, the question is, 'Will T.J. Watt participate in a holdout?' However, the expectation is that he will do what he did in 2021 when he was last in a contract dispute, and that's negotiate using a hold-in strategy.
A hold-in is essentially attending the mandatory training camp without participating in any drills. Standing on the sidelines with a "I'm here but not fully" sort of posture.
