Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin says he’s optimistic T.J. Watt will get a deal done. The outside linebacker returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time this season. He is expected to play on Sunday.
The hangup between the two sides is reportedly guaranteed money. A precedent was set when the Cleveland Browns signed pass-rusher Myles Garrett with $100 million guaranteed last season. Watt is expected to be in that same market.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ business model is to only guarantee the first year of a player’s contract. Many analysts say this is something they’ll clearly need to budge on if they want a deal to get done before Week 1.
