For most of the NFL off-season, it was known that Pittsburgh Steelers star pass rusher T.J. Watt wanted a contract extension. Although it took until the day before training camp, both sides can now move on and focus on the season.

No defender in NFL history has received a contract like T.J. Watt's, and Pittsburgh Steelers legend and former teammate James Harrison believes he is worth every penny.

Along with Aaron Rodgers, T.J. Watt's contract situation was the biggest storyline surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. Rodgers, after months of speculation, ultimately signed with the Steelers just ahead of minicamp.

Watt’s accolades gave him a strong case to be the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL; he’s a Defensive Player of the Year, four-time First-Team All-Pro, and seven-time Pro Bowler since being drafted in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

T.J. Watt's contract extension is worth an estimated $123 million, according to ESPN. The figure makes Watt the NFL's top-paid non-quarterback.
