Last month, Watt jumped the compulsory mini-camp, and he seemed to be a not so subtle message to the only team for which he ever played for his desire to return a new contract before the 2025 season.

The decision to jump Minicamp was a notable change compared to the approach of Watt in 2021, when he made a “conservation” during the mini-camp and the training camp before designing a contract on the eve of the regular season.
Watt, the defensive player of the year of the AP NFL 2021, was about to conclude the last season of the four -year extension that he signed in September 2021. This $ 112 million agreement made Watt the best paid defender of the League at the time.

Some Steelers players should go to the training camp on July 23.
Watt equaled the bag record in one season in 2021. Last season, he recorded two -digit bags for the sixth time in his career in the NFL. The 30 -year -old is also a seven time bowler pro.
