TURN DOWN FOR WATT 🗣️ We signed T.J. Watt to a new four-year contract! 🎥 More on Steelers.com
The Steelers signed linebacker T.J. Watt to a new four-year contract.
Watt, who won the Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2021 and was a finalist in 2024, has been a stabilizing force for the defense since he was selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Watt is the Steelers all-time sack leader with 108 career sacks. He recorded his 100th career sack against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5 of the 2024 season, on a night he accounted for one and a half sacks.
Watt became the second fastest player to reach 100 career sacks, doing it in 109 career games. Only Hall of Famer Reggie White did it faster, reaching the 100-sack mark in 96 games.
Watt is also one of only three players to reach 100 career sacks before the age of 30. His 108 career sacks are third-most in NFL history by a player in their first eight seasons in the NFL.
