There was never a guarantee the Steelers would sign T.J. Watt during his 2021 hold-in

“It was a slam dunk that a deal would get done.”

“It was a foregone conclusion.”

“Totally different situation.”

Those are just three things said about T.J. Watt and his training camp hold-in and contract negotiations of 2021 whenever anyone dares to compare it to Diontae Johnson and his recent training camp hold-in and contract negotiations of 2022.

Do people ever use the Time Traveler function on their Google machines? In the case of Watt’s 2021 contract drama, they wouldn’t have to set the controls back that far to see that, not only was there drama but there were no guarantees that Watt and the Steelers would agree to anything.
