Signed. Sealed. Delivered. T.J. Watt is a major step closer to becoming a Pittsburgh Steeler for life. It’s a shared goal by player and organization. When those two factors exist, a deal usually gets done. This time, the Steelers didn’t wait until the last minute as they did in 2021 under Kevin Colbert. Watt’s record-breaking extension was agreed to one week before the Steelers’ first training camp practice, avoiding the distraction and messiness that a holdout or hold-in would’ve brought.
This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a player who was worth it before and will be worth it again.
