This offseason, T.J. Watt’s price tag has done nothing but go up. As the pass rusher market went from dormant to red hot, Watt could wind up matching or surpassing the $40 million per year deal Myles Garrett inked with the Cleveland Browns to rescind his trade request and remain with the organization.
“T.J. Watt’s got a year left,” Rapoport said co-hosting on the Pat McAfee Show Monday. “I know getting something done with him is something the Steelers want to do…could he become the next to eclipse 40 [million]? I think he could.”
The San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa was the first edge rusher to break the $30 million market, signing a $34.
