T.J. Watt signed a three-year, $123 million contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The deal includes $108 million fully guaranteed and surpasses the career earnings of his brother, J.J. Watt.

Watt, 30, was entering the final year of a four-year, $112 million extension that he had signed just before the start of the 2022 season. At the time, the extension made Watt the NFL's highest-paid defensive player.
