T.J. Watt’s contract situation has received a timeline update — courtesy of Steelers insider Gerry Dulac.
Dulac, who broke the news of Aaron Rodgers’ first meeting at Pittsburgh’s facility, was asked during Thursday’s Steelers chat if Watt’s deal could get done before July’s training camp — and this was his response:
“Won’t be before training camp.”
Yikes.
If Watt shows up at training camp, he’ll likely take a similar approach to his infamous 2021 “hold-in” — one that saw him sit out of all team activities. It’s rumored that Watt’s extension has a Steelers regular season deadline — which isn’t ideal, but both parties have been down that road before.
Will the Steelers extend Watt before the Cowboys potentially make Micah Parsons the highest-paid defender in the NFL, or will Dallas ultimately make the situation that much worse for Pittsburgh?
