No defender in NFL history has received a contract like T.J. Watt's, and Pittsburgh Steelers legend and former teammate James Harrison believes he is worth every penny.

Watt, 30, had 11.5 sacks a season ago and dealt with multiple injuries that cooled him off down the stretch. Before the injuries, Watt was the odds-on favorite to win the 2024 Defensive Player of the Year Award, which would have been his second in a storied career.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt have reportedly agreed on a three-year, $123 million extension. With the deal, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday that Watt has become the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history for the second time in his career. Watt is reportedly getting $108 million guaranteed.

T.J. Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers' contract conundrum is far from simple, with the star aging past his prime.

According to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Steelers have signed Watt to a historic contract. Watt received a three-year, $123 million contract extension. What makes that deal historic? Watt has now become the highest-paid per year player outside of a quarterback in NFL history.

Hours before signing a record-setting extension, a training photo of Steelers' T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig began making waves on social media.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made linebacker TJ Watt the highest-paid non-quarterback player in NFL history with a three-year, $123 million contract extension.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have quite the expectations for the 2025 season. Some debate whether those expectations are realistic, but much of the hype comes from the arrival of Aaron Rodgers as the team’s new quarterback.
