Watt has put together an amazing tenure with the Steelers. He has played in 121 total games with the franchise, racking up 462 total tackles, 108 sacks, 33 forced fumbles, 12 fumble recoveries, seven interceptions, and 50 defended passes.

The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly aren't close to signing Watt to a contract extension after he stayed away from the team through its mandatory minicamp that wrapped up on June 12.

Steelers star edge rusher T.J. Watt, who is entering the final year of his contract and seeking an extension, does not plan to attend mandatory minicamp, league sources said Tuesday. Watt’s decision could mark Day 1 of a long staring contest if the negotiations unfold in a manner anywhere similar to his last contract dispute.
