Steelers’ Latest Roster Move Could Spell Bad News for TJ Watt
The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed edge-rusher Nick Herbig to a four-year, $100 million contract extension. This move could potentially lead to the trade of star pass-rusher T.J. Watt, who is due significant guaranteed money in the coming seasons.

- ▪Nick Herbig's new contract includes $42 million guaranteed.
- ▪T.J. Watt is currently making $41 million per year and has $32 million guaranteed next season.
- ▪The Steelers now have $83 million per year committed to three defensive players.
