Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt was absent from the team’s organized activities as he seeks a new contract, with reports indicating that the Steelers have made a “pretty substantial” offer that may not align with Watt’s expectations. Longtime Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly noted that the exact reasons for Watt’s dissatisfaction remain unclear, but the absence of a signed deal suggests ongoing negotiations. Given that Browns defensive end Myles Garrett set a precedent with a $40 million per season deal, it’s likely Watt is aiming for a similar contract, although additional details are still being worked out.
