During his look on “The Pat McAfee Show,” ESPN insider Peter Schrager revealed that each side are “motivated” to get one thing carried out. Simply put, the Steelers and Watt don’t need to have this factor drag on.

Watt’s determination to carry out on the workforce’s required minicamp final week ratcheted up the strain on the Steelers’ entrance workplace. Though contract talks proceed, the All-Pro exterior linebacker’s absence reveals an unequivocal message: signal a deal that conforms to his elite play earlier than returning to the sphere.

With the pass-rusher market nonetheless on the rise, the Steelers would probably have to offer T.J. Watt with a deal that mirrors his output and stardom. Watt, who shall be 31 in October, continues to be one of many NFL’s finest sack masters and one of many mainstays of Pittsburgh’s protection.

Trey Hendrickson Seeking Extension in Cincinnati

Compounding the market strain, Trey Hendrickson, the 2024 NFL sacks chief for the Cincinnati Bengals, has been stated to have reopened extension discussions together with his membership, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Similar to Watt and Parsons, Hendrickson is probably going going to receives a commission high greenback, and this offseason shall be probably the most contract-loaded occasions for elite defenders.
