T.J. Watt's extension took longer than both sides probably would've liked, and there was one main reason for that.

PFF ranked Watt as the 10th-best player in the NFL and the third-best edge rusher heading into the 2025 season — behind Cowboys' Micah Parsons at No. 7 and Browns ' Myles Garrett at No. 1.

Watt reached a historic agreement with the Steelers on Saturday, securing a three-year contract extension that will have him earn $123 million in that span with $108 million guaranteed.
