training camp is more than two weeks old and the team has yet to see one of its biggest stars Robert Tonyan Jersey on the field. To this point, All-Pro pa s rusher hasn't taken part in a single se sion. Head coach Mike Tomlin noted on Saturday that Watt has been "working hard with our trainers" but didn't divulge further when he may get back on the practice field. However, defensive coordinator Keith Butler said that he doesn't expect to see Watt back until he comes to terms on a contract extension with the Steelers that makes him one of the league's highest-paid edge rushers."That's none of my busine s," Butler said when asked about Watt's return, via . "I hope he signs the contract and gets it done, and when he gets that done, we'll talk about that."Watt is entering the final year of his contract is currently set to make over $10 million for the 2021 season after the club picked up his fifth-year option. Whenever he signs his extension, Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey the 26-year-old has a chance to set the market at the position. Currently, is the highest-paid edge rusher with an average annual salary of $27 million. An extension for Watt will likely be in that neighborhood.Despite Watt not practicing during team drills, he has been present for each training camp practice and traveled to Canton Malik Taylor Jersey for the Hall of Fame Game last Thursday. "I don't blame him for that because you don't want to get hurt when you're trying to get your contract done," Butler said of Watt not participating in team drills. "You kind of lose some flexibility in terms of what kind of contract you can sign. So, I don't blame him for that. I hope they get it done. As a former player rep for the players' a sociation when I came out, I've always been for the players. I struck twice for the players. I knew I wasn't going to get the money that they get. I want them to make as much money Ty Summers Jersey as they can in this league. I think they deserve it."Last season, Watt led the NFL in sacks (15) and finished second in the Defensive Player of the Year voting, only losing out to superstar . Through four seasons, Watt has 49.5 sacks and 59 tackles for a Kenny Clark Jersey lo s. The Steelers historically do not negotiate contracts in-season, so the team is threading the needle to get a deal done with Watt.
