The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a high-stakes contract standoff with one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers. With the edge rusher market reaching unprecedented heights, negotiations with T.J. Watt have hit significant roadblocks that could extend deep into the preseason.

Last season with the Steelers, Watt played in all 17 regular season games. He racked up 61 tackles, 11.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and four defended passes. Those numbers make the Pittsburgh superstar one of the best defensive threats in the NFL.
