The Steelers and All-Pro edge defender agreed to terms on a contract that makes Watt the highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL and he needs to learn how to live that down.

A T.J. Watt trade would be unforgivable. These three Steelers should be gone if it actually comes to pass. For an organization that is a perennial playoff regular and has six Super Bowl rings, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ recent conduct does not meet “The Standard” whatsoever.

The Pittsburgh Steelers open their 2025 training camp in one week, but don't expect superstar edge rusher T.J. Watt to attend. He won't be there until he signs a new contract extension and becomes what many project to be the highest-paid player at his position in the NFL.
