T.J. Watt wants a contract reflecting the value at the top of the market in his next contract but it seems the Pittsburgh Steelers are hesitant to rush on such a commitment because of the defensive star's age.

The Pittsburgh Steelers did not have T.J. Watt at their mandatory minicamp this week. Head coach Mike Tomlin did not seem overly concerned about his future with the team, stating they are in constant communication with one another.

Watt's current situation is similar to what transpired 20 years ago between the Steelers and Pro Bowl receiver Hines Ward. After a brief holdout, Ward, then 29, signed an extension just before the start of the 2005 season, a season that ended with Ward winning Super Bowl MVP honors.
