Watt are currently playing a game of high-stakes chicken with his deal.

Lastly, Paul dives into more Steelers offseason talk and upcoming training camp thoughts before talking about the slumping Pirates' much-needed MLB All-Star Week break and what it means for Paul Skenes, Oneil Cruz and company.

Nick has heard that T.J. Watt may want the contract to be longer than the Steelers are willing to offer. Guaranteed money in the third year is a key factor. The Steelers have moved up their raw money in the deal. Nick thinks Watt will be the highest paid non-QB in football. He wouldn't be surprised if it goes into the final week of training camp.
Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani: Nick thinks Watt will be the highest paid non-QB in football. He wouldn't be surprised if it goes into the final week of training camp. The Steelers offensive line needs to hold up for Aaron Rodgers. Nick Farabaugh thinks they are the key to the Steelers' success and could get them 10-11 wins. There could be 4-5 first-round quarterbacks next year.

Paul reacts to Big Ben's recent comments and discusses why the Steelers' former Super Bowl-winning QB would come out and say that on his podcast. Also, was Bill Cowher correct in saying that Rodgers needs "the keys" to Pittsburgh's offense in order to be successful this season? And are the T.J. Watt trade rumors viable, or will Omar Khan, Mike Tomlin and company finally get a record-setting deal done before training camp? Lastly, Paul weighs in on the Pirates' recent slump back to reality and why owner Bob Nutting and general manager Ben Cherington still need to clean house for everyone not named Paul Skenes and Andrew McCutchen.

The Steelers have operated differently this year and under Omar Khan, who received a three-year extension through 2028. Jason wonders if it's worth it to pay an edge rusher $40 million. We would rather pay Watt around $38 million and figure out the guaranteed money to be more than Myles Garrett.
T.J. Watt wants more guaranteed money than the Steelers are offering and it's a different situation than last time. Brooke does think the deal will get done. Not going to minicamp makes this more significant. Booke was stunned by the Jalen Ramsey-Minkah trade and there will be a lot of sub packages. Brooke said this season is about winning a playoff game.
Hour 4 with Jason Mackey: T.J. Watt wants more guaranteed money than the Steelers are offering and it's a different situation than last time. Brooke does think the deal will get done. Jason thinks the Pirates should test Konnor Griffin and promote him to Double-A. He's already stolen 40 bases and is hitting .322 in High-A. The Pirates need to accelerate the process for Griffin. Jason wants the Pirates to try and extend Griffin.
Hour 3 with Jason Mackey: Rob Manfred is allowed to make one selection to the All-Star Game, but has a special exception to allow more. Manfred selected Clayton Kershaw, but Jason wanted Manfred to pick Andrew McCutchen as well as a special exception. Jason wonders if it's worth it to pay an edge rusher $40 million. We would rather pay T.J. Watt around $38 million and figure out the guaranteed money to be more than Myles Garrett.

Mark is ok with T.J. Watt holding out for a contract. The longer the Steelers wait, it's likely going to cost them more money after a possible Micah Parsons or Trey Hendrickson deal.
