When it comes to the Trey Hendrickson contract saga, the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t impacted too much by the T.J. Watt extension in Pittsburgh. The Steelers hit Watt with a three-year contract worth $123 million with $108 million fully guaranteed. An average of $41 million per year completely resets the edge market.

In a July 9 article, Watt was named the second-best edge rusher in the NFL by league front office members — the same spot as last year. His highest ranking was No. 1 and his lowest No. 3 on the ballots submitted.

With their complete lack of urgency in extending All-Pro edge-rusher Micah Parsons, the Cowboys may have cost themselves millions.

T.J. Watt and the Steelers agreed to terms on a massive new contract making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

Myles Garrett is already the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, so it's only fitting he is regarded as the best player at his position by people around the league.

ESPN ranked T.J. Watt as the second best edge rusher in the NFL ahead of the 2025 season. Only Myles Garrett ranked ahead of him.
