Pittsburgh Steelers Receives Unfortunate News Concerning Star Player
The Pittsburgh Steelers have received some disappointing news regarding their star pass rusher, T.J. Watt. Watt’s brother, J.J. Watt, revealed that the Steelers might have missed their chance to sign T.J. to a contract extension at a hometown discount ¹. This news comes after the Steelers waited to extend Watt’s contract, and now they might face a more expensive deal.
T.J. Watt is entering the final year of his contract, and the Steelers are facing pressure to secure him for the long term. However, with other top pass rushers like Micah Parsons, Aidan Hutchinson, and Myles Garrett receiving new deals, Watt’s price tag is likely to increase ¹.
Watt has been one of the best pass rushers in the league, with 462 total tackles, 331 solo tackles, 126 tackles for loss, 108 sacks, 223 quarterback hits, seven interceptions, 33 forced fumbles, and 12 fumble recoveries in his career ¹.
The Steelers will need to act quickly to secure Watt’s future with the team. If they fail to do so, they risk losing one of their key players.
In other news, the Steelers have also been dealing with injuries to other key players, including tight end Pat Freiermuth and star pass rusher T.J. Watt, who missed practice with a heel injury ². Wide receiver George Pickens has also been sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain ³.
