T.J. Watt is searching for an extension as he enters the ultimate yr of his contract, and all it took was one picture for Pittsburgh Steelers followers to return to the conclusion that their star pass-rusher is nearly as good as gone.
Watt has one year remaining on the four-year, $112M extension he signed with the Steelers again in 2021. After racking up 30.5 sacks over the previous two seasons, Watt is undoubtedly seeking to turn out to be one of many highest-paid defensive gamers within the NFL, if not the best.
When requested about Watt’s contract scenario on the NFL house owners conferences in Palm Seaside, Florida, final week, Steelers normal supervisor Omar Khan would solely say he’s “hopeful” Watt will retire with the crew.
That didn’t give followers in Pittsburgh a lot reassurance. Then on Wednesday, Watt shared a photograph on his Instagram story that confirmed him holding up two fingers.
