A member of the Rooney family believes that it is ‘absolutely insane’ for the Pittsburgh Steelers to pay T.J. Watt the money he wants.

Myles Garrett is already the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, so it's only fitting he is regarded as the best player at his position by people around the league.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and star outside linebacker T.J. Watt are still not close on a contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who says the deal could drag out much longer.

ESPN polled NFL executives, coaches and scouts to rank all the pass rushers in the NFL and T.J. Watt fell just short of the top spot.

The Pittsburgh Steelers solved one problem, yet they’re still in search for a solution for another. T.J. Watt is in the final year of his contract and is looking for a payday before he takes the field.

ESPN's annual league survey indicates that T.J. Watt remains elite, which further emphasizes that the Pittsburgh Steelers must extend him.

While the football world will speculate on the amount of money that Watt is asking the Steelers to give him, there's no doubt that both sides, especially the team, want a deal done. This would be said by ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, who reiterated on SportsCenter Saturday what a member of the team expressed.

The Patriots boast $61 million in salary cap space, per Spotrac, enough to absorb Watt’s hefty price tag. Yet, a proposed trade, Jabrill Peppers, a 2026 second-round pick, and a 2027 third-rounder, lacks the first-round pick Pittsburgh would likely demand.
