One of the best pass rushers in the league is Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, who is in the midst of a contract dispute with his team. Watt wants to make around $40 million per year on his next deal,

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ negotiations with T.J. Watt must clear hurdles regarding guaranteed money as well as the annual salary the superstar pass rusher will receive. Cleveland’s Myles Garrett shattered the edge rusher market when he landed $40 million per year with the Browns.

CBS Sports NFL insider Aditi Kinkhabwala said Wednesday there's a "disconnect" between Watt and the Steelers, similar to what happened last time there was a contract dispute in 2021. Watt last signed a four-year, $112 million deal in 2021 that averaged $28 million per year at the time.
