For all that has been written about the Cincinnati Bengals and the contract standoff with Trey Hendrickson, the Pittsburgh Steelers have fallen well into the background in the AFC North. 

Those Steelers, after all, have a little contract drama with star pass-rusher T.J. Watt, who also happens to want a new deal at the age of 30. 

For now, it sounds like Watt won’t be leaving the division via trade, at least, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter reporting that he skipped minicamp and is unhappy, with other teams likely to call about a deal.

For now, it doesn’t sound like the Steelers would entertain the idea of a trade just the same way the Bengals won’t move Hendrickson. 

Funnily enough, Bengals fans would probably both like to see the Steelers covered more negatively over this ordeal just like Cincinnati, but would also like to see those Steelers actually trade Watt away. 

For now, Bengals fans will just have to analyze the fallout of the Steelers suddenly trading away Minkah Fitzpatrick.
