T.J. Watt wants a new contract. But he and the Steelers can’t seem to find common ground.
The Pittsburgh Steelers made headlines last week when they traded with the Miami Dolphins for CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith. The moves go on to show that the Steelers feel like they can contend this year after signing QB Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback. They do face an issue with one of their own star players though. DE T.J. Watt has made it clear he wants a new contract and rightfully so. He’s one of the best pass rushers in the game. This saga has been going on for quite some time as the two sides cannot come to any sort of agreements. Check out what the Tennessee Titans, Washington Commanders, and other NFL teams are talking about in our roundup.
