>Steelers star OLB T.J. Watt is seeking a contract extension that would make him the NFL's highest-paid non-QB, eclipsing Ja'Marr Chase's $40.25M average salary.
>"The stalemate is going to be that T.J. Watt wants to be the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league," Gerry Dulac said.
>"And the Steelers are looking at it that he's age 31. In order to accommodate any kind of large contract, it can't be a three-year deal, it has to be a five-year deal because you need to spread the money out...It's not a smart business decision for the Steelers, and they know it."
>Gulac adds that the process isn't going to be easy because the Steelers saw "a decline in his [Watt's] performance" last season.
>Watt, who's entering the final year of his 4-year/$112M deal, held out from mandatory minicamp with negotiations at a standstill.
Will he get paid?
