At some point between now and the start of the 2021 regular season the Pittsburgh Steelers should be able to get outside linebacker T.J. Watt signed to a contract extension. Assuming that happens, and there is no reason to think that it won’t, Watt, by east y speculation, should become the highest paid edge-rusher in the league and quite possibly the highest paid defensive player in the NFL at the same time.
What will Watt’s contract look like? Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report wrote on Thursday that he expects Watt to sign a five-year, $140 million deal this offseason.
