Colin Cowherd's T.J. Watt contract rant goes viral: 'He owns the Steelers'
Colin Cowherd's T.J. Watt contract rant goes viral: 'He owns the Steelers' Colin Cowherd — the Steelers' biggest critic — is back at it again. One of the biggest stories in Pittsburgh right now is T.J. Watt's absence from mandatory minicamp amid intense contractual negotiations with the Steelers — and Cowherd weighed in. On The Herd, the controversial sports personality kept it short, sweet, and bold with his prediction on Watt's holdout situation throughout mandatory minicamp: "[Watt's] not going to show up — and you know why? Because he knows he owns Mike Tomlin. He owns the Steelers. He's going to get whatever he wants. Everybody in Pittsburgh owns a T.J. Watt jersey — [the Steelers] don't want the backlash. The Rooneys — small town — they don't want the backlash, and he's going to get whatever he wants." Cowherd would continue to tear apart the Steelers for spending premium on defense, emphasizing that Super Bowl contenders are going offense first — before ultimately concluding that extending Watt would do nothing for playoff success.
