Insider discusses hurdles Steelers overcame to secure T.J. Watt contract extension
The Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to a three-year, $123M extension with T.J. Watt, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history with $108M guaranteed. The deal was finalized before training camp. Negotiations were influenced by Myles Garrett’s recent contract. Watt initially requested a five-year deal with four years guaranteed. The Steelers typically don’t guarantee money beyond the first year, but made an exception for Watt. Both Watt and the Steelers benefit from the agreement, with Watt set to be the highest-paid non-quarterback until the Dallas Cowboys pay Micah Parsons. This deal ensures the Steelers’ most important defensive player will be at training camp.
