The Washington Commanders didn't address their massive need for a pass rusher this offseason, but one prediction has them trading with the Steelers for TJ Watt.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a contract situation with T.J. Watt, and Ian Rapoport made a prediction about how it will resolve.

Ex-Steelers CB Bryant McFadden weighed in on the contract drama surrounding T.J. Watt and his minicamp absence.

PITTSBURGH — Aaron Rodgers might be ready to take the practice field for the Pittsburgh Steelers. T.J. Watt is not. The star outside linebacker skipped the start of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. Watt likely is eyeing a new deal as he enters the final year of his current contract.

Mike Tomlin has broken his silence on the contract situation surrounding star linebacker T.J. Watt. With rumors swirling and fans growing anxious, Tomlin's statement offers clarity, and a strong hint at the Steelers' commitment to keeping Watt in Pittsburgh.

Watt is currently slated to enter the final season of a previously signed four-year extension worth $112 million. It made him the highest-paid defensive player of all time in 2021, but it is now outdated. Watt has earned an average of $28 million per campaign throughout that deal.

News broke right before Steelers mandatory minicamp that the four-time first-team All-Pro would not be in attendance as he seeks a new contract.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will not have their star player in attendance at mandatory minicamp this week, as TJ Watt plans to hold out.
