Aaron Rodgers is set to attend the Steelers' mandatory minicamp this week, but T.J. Watt is notably missing. Watt is seeking a new contract and has not shown up for the first day of the three-day minicamp. He has also been absent during the voluntary offseason workouts.
Reports indicate that the Steelers have made an offer to Watt, who is entering the final year of his current contract. However, it seems that the offer does not meet Watt's expectations, leading him to skip minicamp as a statement that he expects a better deal from the team.
Last year, Watt held out during training camp before eventually signing an extension just before the regular season began. It appears that a similar situation may unfold this summer as Watt and the Steelers work to reach a mutually satisfactory contract agreement.
