Steelers' Standoff With T.J. Watt Intensifies

News summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a contract standoff with star linebacker T.J. Watt, who is seeking a market-resetting deal following Myles Garrett's $40 million-per-year contract. Negotiations are stalled over guaranteed money and contract length, with Watt having skipped offseason activities and potentially holding out during training camp. The Steelers have bolstered their roster with trades for Jalen Ramsey and DK Metcalf and the signing of Aaron Rodgers, signaling a win-now approach. Despite trade speculation, team leadership insists Watt will not be traded, and a contract deadline is likely set before the regular season. Former coach Bill Cowher has called for professionalism from both sides, while fans and media are divided over the dispute. Retaining Watt is seen as key to the Steelers' Super Bowl aspirations, though the risk of a trade or prolonged holdout remains.
