Steelers must extend T.J. Watt before Cowboys reset the market with Micah Parsons

Time is ticking on T.J. Watt's contract — and the Steelers need to act fast before Micah Parsons resets the market.

Pittsburgh failed to extend Watt before Raiders DE Maxx Crosby — who took the edge rusher market to $35 million a year. The Steelers looked hesitation once more right in the face and backed down — but this time, Browns superstar DE Myles Garrett took the number to an absurd $40 million per year.

It is rumored that Parsons is looking to become the first ever defensive player to receive a $200 million total contract.
