The Pittsburgh Steelers have given their best defensive player a new contract ahead of the season, and they even broke their own unofficial rules to get the deal done.

Star pass-rusher T.J. Watt and the Steelers have agreed to a four-year extension that is worth roughly $112 million, according to multiple reports. The deal is worth more than $28 million per year and makes Watt the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.
As Ian Rapoport of NFL Media notes, the Steelers went against a long-standing company policy of only guaranteeing money in the first year of new deals.

Watt is guaranteed a total of $80 million.
For a while it looked like the Steelers were playing hardball with Watt, who led the NFL with 15 sacks last season. Ben Roethlisberger publicly put pressure on the organization to pay Watt this week, though we doubt that was a huge factor in negotiations.

This is the rule by which they let LeVeon Bell walk.

TJ Watt will be exposed. He benefitted from having
Bud Dupree cover the the other side. Now teams
will double team the motherfucker down after down,
and I do not want to hear any of you weaklings cry about
how he cannot do it alone, and he needs someone to help
his ass on the other side.

Donald better have his agent on the line tomorrow for the contract renegotiation. No fucking way Watt is worth that much guaranteed vs Donald.

Team, coach and QB shit on AB and LeVeon when they tried to deals done.. and LeVeon was free agent. They all sung a different tune when the whiteboy demanded his bread and held out.

Yes, Watt is more valuable than Donald. Watt is white

If you remember, the Steelers defense that was impenetrable and
responsible for the 11-0 start went to shambles the moment Bud
Dupree injured his knee. The other team scored immediately, and
Pittsburgh had to hang on for dear life to avoid a defeat. We went
on to lose 4 out of the 5 remaining games without Bud Dupree in
the line up.

TJ Watt is overrated. He is no Lawrence Taylor. He is very good, but
not as great as they think he is.

Ex-fuckin-xactly!!! I could not even watch the Bucs-Cowboys highlights this
morning because I hated to see AB having to do that shit in a different
uniform. I am glad I forgot that the game was going on, otherwise I might
have had to watch it.

This shit is happening over and over, it is so blatant. They kept shitting on
running backs and until the time to pay McCaffrey came...

Some years ago, I was listening to the after-game talks shows here in Dallas
when some cac called in and declared that he would be pissed off if he heard
that Jason Witten was not the highest paid player on the team..

This thing could destroy the team. They forced Stephon Tuitt to take
restructure his contract a few weeks ago, and then they break the bank
for the cac. What kind of shit is this.

TJ Watt is now paid 2x what any other defensive player is paid. Think
about that for a moment.

TJ is good, but does not deserve that type of contract.

 

[Nzinga]

TJ is good, but does not deserve that type of contract.

And to be fair, nobody does. If the line could not hold the guards,
TJ would not be able to go around the tackles; If the linebackers
did not plug run holes, the running backs would be in the second
level before TJ could get to the QB. If the secondary did not clamp
down receivers, the ball would be gone before the rush got to the
QBs.

This thing is too much of a team effort for one person to be paid
such an obscene amount of money. To make matters worse, the
Steelers who offer only 1-yr guarantees on their contracts gave this
motherfucker an almost 3 year guarantee on his..

Come on.. Pittsburgh is doing that Andy Van Slyke bullshit again,
where it would not pay Bobby Bonilla and Barry Bonds in their
contract years, but extended Van Slyke's contract, in a non-contract
year, at a rate higher than it was willing to pay Bobby Bonilla, in his
contract year. When asked about it, the team's general manager said
of the white Andy Van Slyke that "he puts people in the seats"..

I was there. I know the story. That is what happened. And that is
why Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla both left the Pirates. Of course
like AB and LB, they were just difficult "black" people
