CBS Pittsburgh August 24, 2021 T.J. Watt is about to get a massive payday. According to Gerry Dulac from our news partner at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Watt is expected to sign a contract extension "shortly" after the final preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Friday. Dulac reports the contract will make Watt the league's highest-paid defensive player. Watt has not been practicing this offseason because he has yet to sign a long-term deal. He has been doing individual work on the practice field, but he hasn't practiced yet with the rest of the squad.
