Pittsburgh Steelers' T.J. Watt agrees to a 4-year, $112 million deal, source says

PITTSBURGH -- After a contract negotiation that lasted throughout training camp, the Pittsburgh Steelers and outside linebacker T.J. Watt came to terms on a megadeal on Thursday.

Watt, 26, agreed to a four-year, $112 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The deal includes $80 million in full guarantees, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

With the deadline nearing, negotiations pushed into Week 1 as the two sides worked to find common ground on the contract's guarantees. The Steelers typically only guarantee the signing bonus, but not much else. Watt's case, though, broke that mold.
