Steelers Could Consider Extension For T.J. Watt This Offseason
2 months agoPittsburgh Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II hinted that the team will look at possibly extending star linebacker T.J. Watt, who is entering the final year of his current deal in 2025, this offseason. "That's something we want to look at this offseason. T.J. has been one of the foundations of the defense for quite a number of years now. And certainly hope we can have T.J. for the future, beyond this year," Rooney said. Although the former 30th overall pick in 2017 out of Wisconsin has had his fair share of injuries in his eight years in Pittsburgh, the seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro remains one of the most disruptive defenders in the NFL when he's on the field. He had 61 tackles (40 solo), 11.5 sacks and a league-high six forced fumbles in 17 regular-season games in 2024 and has a whopping 108 sacks for the Steelers in his career. It would be a surprise if he doesn't sign an extension with Pittsburgh.
