PFF: T.J. Watt Among Young Players Most Deserving Of An Early Extension

While the bulk of the attention for the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason in terms of signing players has been paid to Bud Dupree, given that he is slated to be an unrestricted free agent, there is a strong argument to be made that his fellow edge defender, T.J. Watt, is equally deserving of receiving a new contract now.

That is in spite of the fact that the Steelers technically control his rights for the next two seasons. He is entering his fourth year, and the team will certainly pick up his fifth-year option for 2021.
