T.J. Watt, a star pass rusher for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is absent from mandatory minicamp as he negotiates a new contract. Currently in the last year of his deal, Watt previously missed voluntary OTAs this offseason. His average annual salary of over $28 million is now behind the growing market highlighted by Myles Garrett's record contract. Watt, who has 108 career sacks and was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2021, is facing potential fines of nearly $105,000 if he misses minicamp.
If he misses all three days of minicamp, Watt would be subject to nearly $105,000 in fines.
Watt's average annual salary is just over $28 million, but the market for game-changing pass rushers has changed.
