Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt was noticeably absent from the team's OTAs this week. While there isn't a clear answer as to why he's gone, it definitely seems his reasoning is because he's looking for a new contract extension with the Steelers.
Watt is entering the final year of his four-year, $112 million contract he's currently on. He is set to earn $21.05 million during the 2025 season. Since he signed this contract, though, the market has changed drastically. Fellow AFC North competitor Myles Garrett made history when he signed his contract extension with the Cleveland Browns which sits at about $40 million a year.
