T.J. Watt Once Again Becomes Highest-Paid Non-QB
For the second time in his career, Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro pass-rusher T.J. Watt becomes the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history by reaching an agreement on Thursday on a three-year, $123 million contract extension that includes $108 million fully guaranteed at signing, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. The $41 million per year average is the highest of any non-QB in NFL history. The 30-year-old is a game-wrecker for the Steelers defense, and he's been a Pro Bowler each of the last seven seasons while also being named a first-team All-Pro four times. Watt has led the league in sacks three times and has 108 of them since debuting in 2017. However, he does have a lengthy injury history and totaled only 11.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games after recording 19 in 2023. As long as he can stay healthy, Watt should continue to be one of the best all-around defenders in 2025.
