The Pittsburgh Steelers have ‘no excuses’ to not win this season after the T.J. Watt extension, according to former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum.

The Steelers and All-Pro edge defender agreed to terms on a contract that makes Watt the highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL and he needs to learn how to live that down.

Watt, 30, was entering the final year of a four-year, $112 million extension that he had signed just before the start of the 2022 season. At the time, the extension made Watt the NFL's highest-paid defensive player.
