Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro outside linebacker T.J. Watt become the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history for the second time […] This article originally appeared on Steelers Now: New Details Revealed on T.

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's contract extension is worth an estimated $123 million, according to ESPN. The figure makes Watt the NFL's top-paid non-quarterback.

After a whirlwind offseason that brought Aaron Rodgers to Pittsburgh, Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have reportedly made a major call on the future of the quarterback position.

When it comes to rushing the passer, the only other player who appears to be a threat to Watt's stronghold on the No. 1 position is Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract ($40 million per season) earlier this offseason.

The average annual value of the deal, $41 million, is the most-ever for a non quarterback in the NFL. The previous record was the $40 million a year deal that Browns star Myles Garrett inked in March. Upon hearing the news, J.J., the oldest of the Watt brothers, took to social media.
