T.J. Watt receives brotherly support from J.J. on Steelers contract drama amid OTA absence
T.J. Watt receives brotherly support from J.J. on Steelers contract drama amid OTA absence T.J. Watt has been making headlines over his absence from Steelers OTAs — an issue clearly tied to contract extension negotiations with Pittsburgh. His older brother, J.J. Watt, however, recently supported T.J. in a major way on Wednesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show. When first asked about providing an update on his brother's extension talks with the Steelers, J.J. pleaded the Fifth: "I have a lot of information on that subject — that's not my subject to discuss." J.J. would, however, discuss the subject a little further when Trey Hendrickson's situation with the Bengals was compared to T.J.'s with Pittsburgh: "I've long been a big believer that ownership and front offices treat this like a business, but they do not like it when the players flip the script on them and treat it like business back. Taking care of your guys earlier does a few things for you. Number one, it gets them locked in at a lower price in the long run. I mean, you look at what prices are doing every single year — you get them locked in at a lower price. Number two, you're keeping them happy." J.J. tried warning the Steelers back in March that waiting on extending T.J. would only make the situation worse — and it truly feels like there isn't a "hometown discount" to be had anymore as Steelers OTAs roll on without their star edge rusher.
