The Detroit Lions now have a new market to compare to when it comes to the value of defensive end contracts. On Thursday, reports surfaced that the Pittsburgh Steelers and defensive end TJ Watt have agreed on a contract that will make him the new highest-paid non-quarterback in the entire NFL.

T.J. Watt signed a three-year, $123 million contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The deal includes $108 million fully guaranteed and surpasses the career earnings of his brother, J.J. Watt.

TJ Watt finalized a historic deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, earning an annual salary significantly higher than those of Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, as well as three other quarterbacks who also changed teams during this NFL offseason.

The Dallas Cowboys have yet to sign Micah Parsons to a contract extension. The Cincinnati Bengals have yet to sign Trey Hendrickson to a contract extension. And now, the price just went up.

Insider James Palmer revealed what he's hearing about T.J. Watt's Steelers contract talks — and what it could mean for Myles Garrett's $40 million.
