The Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt are stuck at a crossroads with their contract negotiations as Watt enters the last year of his deal. After Myles Garrett’s market-shattering $40 million per year deal with the Cleveland Browns in March, that threw off the calculus for Watt’s deal.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt both want the same end result of a contract extension but simultaneous negotiations between other teams and their star pass rushers add to the complexity of the Steelers' dealings.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt are "motivated" to finalize a new contract before the start of training camp, according to ESPN's Peter Schrager.
