T.J. Watt AND the Steelers are both being dumb as hell

In this season, we saw something from Pittsburgh Stelors Which was not a factor in their planning for decades: despair. Since writing on the wall on General Motors Omar Khan and the main coach Mike Tomlin, the team was anxious and full and often trying to find ways to improve.

One of the players who left in the cold with all this change is Edge Rusher TJ WATT, and Rusher Pass had enough. Watt was unhappy with entering the last year of the extension of its four -year term signed in 2021, which is scheduled to pay 21.05 million dollars in 2025. At that time it was a large contract but since then, it was evaluated by other market contestants such as Myles Garrett, Danielle Hunter and Maxx Crosby.

Since it stands in the seventh place in the annual position against the bridle edge, this has doubled from the funds delivered by Stelors over the past 12 months, with the narrow DK Metcalf and Pat Freiermuth reception to obtain high -end extensions for their position. Watt left feel like he was looking abroad, and Stelors, who have enough space to accomplish to accomplish an extension, run their feet with ignorance and make their stars pass through.

There is no doubt that Watt deserves a significant increase in wages. When the likes of Daniel Hunter and Nick Bosa earn more money than Wat with a large margin, there is a basic problem. However, what Watt requires is very ridiculous.

This is ridiculous on the side of Watt. There is no doubt that it is a first-class talent, but on No Planet, there is a 30-year-old pass that starts from a 11.5-bag that deserves to be the most important wage in the American Football Association-regardless of how much watt want to spend in past success.

Here he enters the rub with TJ Watt: Was it ever? truly It was good as the numbers appear? One of the biggest criticisms of the Watt game is that it tends to run out hot and cold. There are games where he will fully defend and obscure the competition alone, and then hardly hear his name called All Game Long.

In 2024, 11.5 bags came in eight games, as more than a third of his production came in two games against the giants and Benglavs, which are the worst attack lines in the American Football Association. Even if we go back to another year, when a statistically dominated 19.0 bags, we see that 9.5 bags again came against teams with offensive lines that ranked 25 or the worst in the permissible pressures this season.

At a level, you have to implement the implementation when it matters, but Watt was never turbulent individually like a person like Miles Garrett, which is why Garrett is the best world pass in the US Football Association at the present time. Garrett requires a dual team in almost every interruption point, fearing that you want to be the midfielder in the tomato paste. However, Watt did not achieve the same amount of attention from opposition crimes. Its bags and pressure often come as a product of the total line pressure, and his engine allows him to obtain voltage bags, rather than dominance individually at the attack point.

It may make it look like Watt is modest, and this is not my intention. It is absolutely one of the best acceleration in the American Football Association and deserves to be paid like one – however, this does not mean that Watt deserves to be higher Change paid in the league, not from a long shot.

At this stage, both sides need to get their heads out of their donkeys. If Stelors is desperate to win, they should pay TJ Watt and make it happy. Watt also needs to realize that he is not rising and does not earn anything, and it may be 21.05 million dollars for this year minor salaries, but this does not mean that he deserves $ 40 million per year – because it is not.

We will wait to find out from the first in this, but steps must be careful. If they are completely satisfied with Watt’s demands, this may become one of the worst contracts in the American Football Association in two years.
