Steelers, TJ Watt Reach Historic Contract Agreement
Digest more
T.J. Watt just signed a record-setting contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers — and here are the biggest takeaways from the move.
T.J. Watt is set to be NFL's top-paid non-quarterback − and that could have consequences inside and outside of Pittsburgh's locker room.
The AFC North team locks up their premier pass rusher for three seasons and makes him one of the highest-paid players in NFL history.
The new deal is worth a purported $123 million across three years, which would make Watt the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Indeed, the tally surpasses that of both Browns lineman Myles Garrett and Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase, each of whom reset the non-QB market earlier this offseason.
