Former Steelers backup QB Charlie Batch predicts one factor could impact whether T.J. Watt retires in Pittsburgh.

A former player for the Pittsburgh Steelers is weighing in on the T.J. Watt contract talks. The Steelers are trying to come to terms with Watt, so he can participate in team activities again. He has been sitting out of OTAs and other activities.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ talks with T.J. Watt seem to be progressing after he held out of mandatory minicamp. Watt sent a message that he wanted to be paid there, but ESPN’s Peter Schrager still thinks the deal gets done before training camp.
