Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt just broke the bank. Forget the idea that the Steelers might not be able to afford him. Watt on Thursday has just become the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history, for the second time in his career,

Watt's extension will pay him an average of $41 million annually, putting him ahead of Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase ($40.25 million) and Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett ($40 million) in terms of the highest average annual salaries among non-quarterbacks.

T.J. Watt is still on track to retire as a Pittsburgh Steeler. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the seven-time Pro Bowler inked a three-year, $123 million deal to stay in Pittsburgh on Thursday, with the $41 million per year average being the highest in NFL history for a non-quarterback.
