Around SB Nation: T.J. Watt’s historic extension

T.J. Watt became the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been making moves all offseason long and their most recent one made their best defensive player, T.J. Watt, the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. He may hold the Steelers franchise record for sacks, but Watt has been unable to help the team when it has come to the playoffs. Like the Miami Dolphins, when the Steelers have made the playoffs they have been one and done. Maybe all the money Pittsburgh has thrown at their new additions will help them get over that hump. Check out what the San Francisco 49ers, Tennessee Titans, and other NFL teams are talking about in our roundup.
