These days, social media has turned into more than just a platform where athletes post about their accomplishments or even failures. Seeing former NFL Defensive Player of the Year TJ Watt’s recent activity on social media, he is using it for something else. TJ Watt’s cryptic post on Wednesday, where he was showing off a peace sign, has not just sent the NFL community into a frenzy of assumptions. Even NFL insider Ian Rapoport also tried to decipher what it actually meant: “I think we can safely say the contract talks between TJ Watt and the Steelers are not off to a riveting start.”
