T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett will forever be linked when comparing the great pass rushers of this era. Drafted in the same year and consistently atop the sack charts for the better part of the last decade, they are now competing off the field with their record-breaking contracts.
Garrett and the Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers to the punch with a mega deal worth an average of $40 million per season. ESPN insider Adam Schefter would be surprised if Watt’s deal ends up topping that.
“I don’t know that he’s gonna get more than Myles Garrett,” Schefter said via The Pat McAfee Show this afternoon.
