At this point, a record-breaking contract for one Trent Jordan Watt is nothing more than a formality.
After landing with the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 30 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, TJ Watt has developed into arguably the best pass rusher in the NFL, racking up 49.5 career sacks in just 62 games, providing the Steelers with a fearsome pass rusher off the edge once again.
Now, with his fifth-year option picked up by the Steelers for $10.089 million for the 2021 season, Watt awaits a massive pay day, one that he says he’s not going to talk about for the time being.
