When it comes to rushing the passer, the only other player who appears to be a threat to Watt's stronghold on the No. 1 position is Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract ($40 million per season) earlier this offseason.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt will go into training camp happy. That's because on Thursday, the Steelers gave Watt a record-setting contract extension. The deal is for three years and $123 million, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The $41 million per year average is the highest for a non-quarterback in NFL history.

Following the massive deal, the updated Steelers 2025 cap space has been revealed. Courtesy of Spotrac, a trusted source of sports contract information, we now know that Watt’s 2025 cap hit is $30.4 million — and the Steelers’ available cap space sits at $25.228 million.
