The Pittsburgh Steelers coach recently downplayed questions regarding T.J. Watt's holdout, the team's second-biggest storyline to Aaron Rodgers making his Steelers debut.  "Um, no," Tomlin said when asked if he had anything specific to say regarding Watt's holdout.

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt is holding out from mandatory minicamp this week because of his desire for a new contract. Here's how much his absence will cost him.

Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger weighed in on T.J. Watt’s contract drama — arguing that the two sides may be far apart on a deal.

The thing about mandatory minicamp is that, well, it's mandatory. If a player doesn't show up, not only are they subject to fines of over $100,000 in total, but it also sends shockwaves across the NFL and signals that the two parties involved (the player and the team) are at serious odds.

Pittsburgh Steeler s outside linebacker and star T.J. Watt is set to hold out of mandatory minicamp amid a contract dispute with the team. Watt, who is entering the last year of his deal, is seeking a new contract for the Steelers. He is 30 years old but will turn 31 in October. Yet, getting Watt signed might be easier said than done.

Controversial sports personality Colin Cowherd blasted Pittsburgh's recent contract woes — claiming T.J. Watt owns the Steelers and HC Mike Tomlin.

T.J. Watt is currently away from the Pittsburgh Steelers as he seeks a contract extension with the franchise. The edge defender, who signed a four-year, $112 million contract in 2021, wants to have a final big contract in his career before retiring from the league.
