The Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt will go into training camp happy. That's because on Thursday, the Steelers gave Watt a record-setting contract extension. The deal is for three years and $123 million, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The $41 million per year average is the highest for a non-quarterback in NFL history.

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.
