Rodgers IN, Watt OUT: Steelers Training Camp Drama!
by Adam Israel in SportsPittsburgh Steelers star outside linebacker T.J. Watt is absent from the start of mandatory minicamp, likely seeking a new contract as his current deal enters its final year. Despite being the highest-paid defender at the time of signing his four-year, $112 million extension in 2021, other players have since surpassed his salary. This absence contrasts with his 2021 "hold in." Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin expects Watt's return and notes the absence creates opportunities for younger players. Meanwhile, newly signed Aaron Rodgers was present at the team facility and is expected to participate in practice.
