Pittsburgh Steelers superstar edge rusher T.J. Watt is likely looking to become the highest-paid edge rusher in the NFL, but the team is apparently hesitant to make him that.

The Pittsburgh Steelers did not have T.J. Watt at their mandatory minicamp this week. Head coach Mike Tomlin did not seem overly concerned about his future with the team, stating they are in constant communication with one another.

Steelers star edge rusher T.J. Watt, who is entering the final year of his contract and seeking an extension, does not plan to attend mandatory minicamp, league sources said Tuesday. Watt’s decision could mark Day 1 of a long staring contest if the negotiations unfold in a manner anywhere similar to his last contract dispute.
