In 2021, TJ Watt was held at the training camp while waiting for a contract extension. He was present to avoid daily fines, but he did not participate in the field work to avoid injuries.
Watt ended up signing an extension of $ 112 million over four years three days before the start of the season.
This could be directed again in this direction.
One day after a report according to which the Steelers made a “fairly substantial“Offer to Watt but” probably not “what Watt is looking for in his new agreement comes that nothing is imminent. Gerry Dulac of PITTSBURGH Post-Gazette report that the sides speak with the “wait until they come to an agreement . . . Before the start of the regular season. »»
The sides could have “some resistance and stumbling stages not if Minor along the way,” adds Dulac.
The Steelers have a club policy that puts an end to all the negotiations once the season at the start, so they have three months to eliminate an agreement.
The New Deal de Watt should exceed the extension of $ 160 million over four years that the Browns have given Edge Rusher Myles Garrett.
Watt, 30, led the league in the bags three of the previous five seasons, in particular by equalizing the record for a single season of the NFL (22.5) in 2021. It is a seven time bowler and a quadruple all-pro.
