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.

Throughout his career, Watt has played in 121 games. All of those games have come with the Steelers and he has totaled 462 tackles, 108 sacks, 33 forced fumbles, 12 fumble recoveries, seven interceptions, and 50 defended passes.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expressed a positive outlook Thursday regarding the current contract standoff between the organization and superstar pass-rusher T.J. Watt.
