TJ Watt is officially holding out for a new deal

[Hawkeye0202]

Surprised this is still out there......Steelers usually take care of their players

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

People give Steelers too much credit. They are ran bad just like rest of these mediocre franchises.....

 

[atlantacowboy]

And Jerry will wait to ensure Micah is the highest paid.

 

[McKDaddy]

A third Watt brother??

 

[Maverick84]

A third Watt brother??

yep, a combination of TJ and JJ, created in a laboratory - JT Watt!

And we'd still pass on him for Taco.

4th, there is already a third out there…..

Yep lol...there's a DJ Watt that played fullback too.

Like it's a great accomplishment to make the NFL, and as a FB no doubt.

Just has to stink just a little being the only non superstar brother.



Have to wonder if the Steelers are trying to keep the guarantees lower since he's 31 this year.

Yeah...sort of like Cooper Manning. I believe he was a WR. Guess he didn't go the QB route like his brothers.

Could be just a garbage compliment, but Peyton said Cooper was the best of all them, but he was injured ending his football career.

 

[John813]

Yeah...sort of like Cooper Manning. I believe he was a WR. Guess he didn't go the QB route like his brothers.

And I think injuries derailed his career early. A bit of nepotism, but was glad to see them get him involved in some commercials.

They say Cooper would probably have had the best NFL career if he didn’t have spinal stenosis. Supposedly, he had a lot more talent than his brothers. I don’t know if I buy that though.

Cooper's son Archie has chosen the QB route like his Grandpa and uncles. Jury is still out on if he's going to be successful in the NFL. Heck, he needs to start being successful in college first!!

Cooper was definitely the most athletic Manning and likely would’ve been a successful NFL WR, but I seriously doubt he would’ve had the best NFL career of any Manning considering Peyton was a 1st Ballot HOF’er and one of the 3 or 4 greatest QB’s in NFL history. Even Eli is a HOF’er (though there’s an argument to be made that he shouldn’t have been).

Arch is going to be fine. I went to UT and follow them in the offseason, he wows in practice. He hasn’t had his chance yet but it starts in a few months

In Rod we trust?

Damn TJ is already 31? Damn time flies...oh yeah he and Micah are not gonna get the same deal....

And yeah, three kids in the NFL was a great accomplishment, but the minute he decided to play fullback...he was gonna be the black sheep lol......shelf life isnt very long.

They’ve been to 8 conference championship game since the last time we were at one. I’ll take that type of mediocrity.

Yeah I wonder how much of that is folk lore? Two 1st overall picks......Cooper was gonna be another one?
