T.J. Watt's new contract makes him the highest-paid non-QB in the league. Here's how the rest of the top 10 shapes up.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt is a beast on the football field. Since being drafted in the first round in 2017, he’s consistently been an NFL leader in sacks and won Defensive Player of the Year in 2021.

The Steelers have locked up T.J. Watt for another three years on a record-setting deal — which may have cost the Bengals their own All-Pro defender.

Forget T.J. Watt. That was never going to happen no matter what anyone says or writes. The Pittsburgh Steelers weren’t letting go of their future Hall of Fame pass rusher and arguably the best defensive player in the NFL. Not even the copious amounts of pixie dust Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has stockpiled would have been enough.

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.

Cam Heyward does not want to see Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt leave the team. On the Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday, Heyward was asked about Watt leaving and expressed hopes that this is not the last season they play together.

With T.J. Watt currently stuck in contract drama, Cam Heyward issues a demand to Omar Khan regarding his teammate's future with the Steelers.
