T.J. Watt is heading into the final year of his contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and some have wondered if the organization’s recent inability to break through in the playoffs might tempt him to look elsewhere.
Watt tried to put those fears to rest Monday, two days after the Steelers were eliminated by the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC wild-card round. The star pass rusher told reporters that he does not want to leave Pittsburgh, and intends to be “part of the solution.”
“I want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. I don’t want to leave this place,” Watt said. “I want to be part of the solution, not leave here and go somewhere else. That’s not my intention at all.”
