Yardbarker on MSNSteelers, T.J. Watt finalize extension to make him highest paid non-QB againPittsburgh Steelers star linebacker T.J. Watt has agreed to a three-year, $123M extension, with $108M guaranteed. The deal, confirmed by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, makes Watt the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history again.
Should the Steelers have any level of interest in trading Watt, there are quite a few teams around the NFL who would love to have a chance to acquire him. He is coming off of a 2024 season that saw him rack up 61 tackles, 11.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and four defended passes.
TJ Watt deserves so much better than this. The Steelers former GM, Kevin Colbert, didn't give him any guaranteed money in the final year of his deal.
T.J. Watt contract talks drag on, ESPN’s Brooke Pryor has identified a major holdup in the negotiation process.
