Last month, Watt skipped mandatory mini stamp, and it seemed to be a non-subtle message to the only team he has ever played for his desire to iron a new contract before the 2025 season.

The decision to skip MiniCamp was a noticeable shift from Watt’s approach in 2021, when he made a “team in” during both MiniCamp and training camp before accepting a contract on the threshold for the regular season.

Watt, 2021 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, was coming into the last season of the four -year extension he signed in September 2021. This $ 112 million -dollar agreement made Watt the highest paid defender in the league at the time.

Some Steelers players are scheduled to report to Training Camp 23 July.

Watt bound sacks in single season in 2021. Last season he recorded double-digit sacks for the sixth time in his NFL career. The 30-year-old is also a seven-time pro bowler.
