On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to terms with T.J. on a historic three-year, $123 million extension that made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history with a $41 million AAV. It surpassed wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals ($40.25 million) and rival Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett ($40 million).

T.J. Watt is still on track to retire as a Pittsburgh Steeler. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the seven-time Pro Bowler inked a three-year, $123 million deal to stay in Pittsburgh on Thursday, with the $41 million per year average being the highest in NFL history for a non-quarterback.
