T.J. Watt Contract Update: Steelers Haven't Looked Into Possibly Trading Star Pass Rusher, per Report

ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 10 – Patrick Rooney Jr. publicly criticized the Steelers' plan to offer T.J. Watt a record $40.25 million annual contract amid concerns over injuries and team playoff performance.

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers have opened training camp on July 23, 2025, while still lacking a contract extension agreement with T.J. Watt.
  • Contract negotiations stall due to disagreements over deal length, guarantees, and overall value amid concerns about Watt's durability.
  • Watt, who recorded 11.5 sacks and battled injuries in the 2024 season, wants to remain with the Steelers as both sides seek a resolution.
  • General manager Omar Khan expressed hope Watt will finish his career with Pittsburgh despite a Rooney family member calling Watt's salary demand "insane."
  • Though trade rumors intensify, the Steelers have made no inquiries to other teams, and reports strongly suggest Watt will not hold out at camp start.
