T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett are two of the most often compared players in the league. Both drafted in 2017, they are undeniably the two best edge rushers of this generation. While they are neck-and-neck in career sacks, Defensive Player of the Year selections and other accolades, Garrett has a leg up on Watt in one category. At least for now.
Garrett just signed a deal to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. That deal is a reported $40 million per season with $123.5 million in guaranteed money to stay with Cleveland for the next six seasons.
