TJ Watt not gonna talk about contract

[Dwinsgames]

Pittsburgh Steelers star pass rusher T.J. Watt enters the final year of his rookie contract. The runner-up AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year is due a hefty pay raise.



Ahead of the Steelers mandatory minicamp this week, contract talks aren't something Watt is willing to discuss at this stage.



"With respect to the process, I'm not going to be talking about any contract stuff," Watt said Tuesday morning, via NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala.



Watt is due to make $10.089 million on the fifth year of his rookie contract, pittance for his production. The 26-year-old led the NFL with 15 sacks in 2020 in addition to 41 QB hits -- also most in the NFL (the next closest had eight fewer).



Currently, 24 edge defenders are scheduled to make more money this season than Watt. The Steelers star is at least $10 million underpaid at this moment.

One of the lucky few that doesn't have to talk about it.

Everyone knows he will be one of, if not the, highest paid pass rusher in the NFL within the next 12 months.

Let’s hope the injury bug doesn’t bite him before his big payday.

I'm not a cap guy so I won't go into the numbers thing, but I would be ok with making him the highest paid edge in the league

Whatever the highest paid Edge Rusher should be paid, that’s what Watt should get.

TJ will get paid.

TJ not practicing isn’t a problem.

Mark Madden is the journalistic equivalent of diarrhea.

Was totally reminded of this classic movie scene for some reason.

REPORTER: “What’s up with TJ (Watt) not practicing in full-contact drills???”

TOMLIN: “Last season, Cam (Heyward) practiced the same way during negotiations.”

MADDEN: Sooo, Watt is being traded. Great. Shittsburgh is at it again. Oh, by the way, I eat my own boogers… after I name them and make them beg me not to kill them.
