The prevailing thought currently is that the Pittsburgh Steelers will get outside linebacker T.J. Watt signed to long-term contract extension sometime before the start of the 2021 regular season, which is now 52 days away. While a Watt extension seems bound to happen, the Steelers former first round draft pick out of Wisconsin didn’t tip his hand on Thursday after the team’s training camp practice when it comes to how any negotiations might be going right now, if any are at all.
“It’s not for me to say. That’s pretty much all I’ll say about it,” Watt said Thursday when asked if he’s confident an extension will get done this summer.
