The Pittsburgh Steelers have finally addressed one of their biggest sagas in the offseason, with the AFC North franchise handing superstar linebacker T.J. Watt a massive three-year contract extension worth $123 million.

According to team insider Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, there were several challenges to finalize T.J. Watt's contract before the Steelers' first training camp session of the summer.

All of that suddenly changed when the Steelers signed Watt to a three-year deal worth $123 million with $103 million in guaranteed money. The contract makes him the highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL, averaging $41 million per season.

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 face a tense standoff with superstar pass rusher and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt. Watt is currently entering the final season of a four-year contract that he signed back in 2021.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' biggest concern is T.J. Watt, but the roster has another glaring issue ahead of the 2025 season. One analyst's trade proposal with the San Francisco 49ers solves that issue.

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward ill personally let general manager Omar Khan know that he's not trading T.J. Watt.
