Here are four reasons that the Steelers will not sign Watt to an extension
There is little argument that the Steelers selected one of, if not the, best defensive player from the 2017 draft when they selected T.J. Watt at the end of the first round. That production has set him up to earn a mega-contract soon, as he is set to play on his fifth-year option this year. While the team will certainly try to resign him, there is little to guarantee that he locks himself into a long-term deal with the team.
