T.J. Watt's contract situation may be nearing a turning point, as Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are reportedly close to making a key move that could shape the future of their defensive cornerstone.

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.

Contract issues can make or break rosters, and if a superstar feels they are being undervalued, they will often strong arm their way into a new deal before they take the field. That appears to be the case for Pittsburgh Steelers star pass rush T.J. Watt.
