Steelers update:.J. Watt Inks Three-Year, $40.5M Extension with Steelers: A Pillar Secured in Pittsburgh

 

PITTSBURGH — May 25, 2025 — The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a definitive statement about the future of their defense: T.J. Watt is staying home. The franchise officially announced today that linebacker T.J. Watt has signed a three-year contract extension worth $40.5 million, securing one of the league’s most feared edge rushers through the 2028 season.

The deal averages $13.5 million per year, reaffirming the Steelers’ long-term commitment to Watt, who has been the heart and engine of their defensive unit since being drafted in the first round in 2017. Already under contract for the upcoming season, this extension tacks on three additional years to his tenure in the Steel City.

A Legacy in the Making

Watt, 30, is widely regarded as one of the most dominant defensive players of his generation. A five-time Pro Bowler, three-time First-Team All-Pro, and the 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Watt’s impact transcends statistics—but the numbers are staggering nonetheless. With 96.5 career sacks heading into the 2025 season, he ranks among the top active sack leaders in the NFL.

 

Looking Ahead

With Watt’s future secured, attention now turns to reinforcing the roster around him. The Steelers front office has quietly built one of the deepest linebacker groups in the league and added young talent at key positions.

But for now, Steelers Nation can breathe a sigh of relief: one of the NFL’s fiercest defenders isn’t going anywhere. T.J. Watt will continue terrorizing quarterbacks—and inspiring fans—in black and gold.
