Watt has put together an amazing tenure with the Steelers. He has played in 121 total games with the franchise, racking up 462 total tackles, 108 sacks, 33 forced fumbles, 12 fumble recoveries, seven interceptions, and 50 defended passes.

The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly aren't close to signing Watt to a contract extension after he stayed away from the team through its mandatory minicamp that wrapped up on June 12.

T.J. Watt's contract situation may be nearing a turning point, as Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are reportedly close to making a key move that could shape the future of their defensive cornerstone.
