Hours before signing a record-setting extension, a training photo of Steelers' T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig began making waves on social media.

“We love T.J. Watt. He’s like a Pittsburgher at heart. I think he deserves every penny,” said Steelers fan Billy Jenkins. Watt scored a $123 million, three-year extension – a deal that includes $108 million guaranteed, according to ESPN reports. The average annual salary of $41 million is $1 million more than Cleveland's Myles Garrett.

JJ Watt says TJ Watt better be paying for dinner after his latest contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — T.J. Watt has wanted to be a “one-helmet guy” from the second he arrived in Pittsburgh eight years ago. The star outside linebacker took one big step toward that goal on Thursday, agreeing to a new pact that will make him the league’s highest-paid defender and keep the perennial All-Pro in black-and gold well into his 30s.
