Not a lot of fullbacks get sizable contracts in free agency. The Pittsburgh Steelers helped another one join that increasingly rare club this offseason when they brought in Derek Watt from the Los Angeles Chargers. T.J. Watt’s older brother got a three-year contract with almost $10 million, which slots him in at number two for the highest-paid players at his position, behind that guy who’s name I can’t spell who used to play for the Ravens. You know the one.
While the team moved away from the fullback position under Bruce Arians as offensive coordinator, they did bring it back, sort of, when they fired him.
