Whose side on you on? Trey, the Bengals or none?

Or maybe we stand our ground and he's forced to play out his contract and then he's far less likely to stick around, so they only have to worry about him for 1 more year?

TJ Watt is 30...I think we'd be pretty happy if the Steelers were having major issues keeping him around, particularly if there was any chance he was going to give the Steelers the middle finger and retire and leave them without a defensive star right before the season.  That'd be pretty sweet.

Do you think Watt will play in 2025 without an extension? If so, if I use your logic, he will be gone after one year and not be happy.

If Steelers do not extend Watt, to me that says they have major concerns with his age. Otherwise, they would give him 3 additional years which I believe is what Trey wants minimum.
