T.J. Watt is the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. He’s schemed by other teams like it, too.
It’s no secret Watt draws significant attention to his side of the field. He’s frequently faced by a tight end chipping him and/or a running back stepping up to help impede his path to the quarterback.
On July 17, the Steelers announced they’d agreed with Watt on a three-year, $123 million deal, with $108 million guaranteed. The deal became official on Tuesday.
Already Pittsburgh’s all-time leading sack artist, one of the few critiques you could have of Watt’s game is how infrequently the Steelers move him around the formation, something we’ve seen many of Watt’s peers tasked with in recent years.
