The Steelers' T.J. Watt contract dilemma doesn't look like it'll be resolved any time soon — as insider Adam Schefter has provided a troubling update on the situation. On the July 8 edition of ESPN's Unsportsmanlike, Schefter revealed that Watt and the Steelers are still far apart in contract talks — as outside trade interest continues to rise:

Last season with the Steelers, Watt played in all 17 regular season games. He racked up 61 tackles, 11.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and four defended passes. Those numbers make the Pittsburgh superstar one of the best defensive threats in the NFL.

In order to accomplish that, he'd have to get a bigger deal than Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who currently holds that title with a four-year, $161 million deal, which works out to $40.25 million annually.

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt has been the subject of conflicting trade rumors as the offseason wears on.
