Mike Tomlin is not worried about All-Pro edge rusher T.J. Watt's three-day absence from mandatory minicamp due to a contract dispute.

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt is holding out from mandatory minicamp this week because of his desire for a new contract. Here's how much his absence will cost him.

The thing about mandatory minicamp is that, well, it's mandatory. If a player doesn't show up, not only are they subject to fines of over $100,000 in total, but it also sends shockwaves across the NFL and signals that the two parties involved (the player and the team) are at serious odds.

T.J. Watt is currently away from the Pittsburgh Steelers as he seeks a contract extension with the franchise. The edge defender, who signed a four-year, $112 million contract in 2021, wants to have a final big contract in his career before retiring from the league.
