The Pittsburgh Steelers and All-Pro Linebacker T.J. Watt have agreed to a monumental three-year extension. The deal is worth $123 million and he will take home $108 million in guaranteed money.

There are two camps that have evolved throughout this negotiation. One suggests that the Steelers are paying Watt for what he’s already done. The other suggests that the team is paying him for what he will do.
