The Pittsburgh Steelers and star edge rusher T.J. Watt agreed to a historic three-year, $123 million contract extension on Thursday, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
This news comes after months of uncertainty revolving Watt's future on the Steelers. Although the team made it clear they wanted to keep the linebacker on the squad, there seemed to be some hold-up as Watt skipped mandatory minicamp because of the contract dispute. In the end, though, it worked out in both of the sides' favors.
