Even as seven-time Pro Bowl selection T.J. Watt skipped both OTAs and mandatory minicamp as he continues to seek a new contract, the Pittsburgh Steelers haven't been sweating his absence. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on June 10 said he wasn't "surprised" by Watt's absence, reiterated Pittsburgh's desire to get a deal done and expressed that both sides will continue working towards an agreement.
Just days later, Tomlin again expressed confidence in a deal getting done, but said he wasn't sure "when." While Steelers fans may be sweating the "when" part, they can take solace in the fact that Tomlin isn't the only one confident that a deal will be agreed upon eventually.
