Watt contract projection to give you some idea what he&rsquo;s going to make on a new deal. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the biggest storyline currently isn&rsquo;t the signing of Aaron Rodgers. Or a focus on the 2025 season.<br />
Instead, it&rsquo;s the holdout of star outside linebacker T.J. Watt, who is searching for a new contract extension. Watt is in the final year of a four-year, $112 million extension he received at the end of his rookie deal.
