The Pittsburgh Steelers players voted outside linebacker T.J. Watt the club MVP for the 2023 campaign, and the results were revealed on Tuesday. With Minkah Fitzpatrick, the safety, ending the streak in 2022, this is the fourth time in the previous five seasons that the honour has been won.
It makes me very happy when my peers recognise how much work I’m putting in and express appreciation for what I’m attempting to do, Watt added.
With 17 sacks, Watt presently holds the NFL record. It is hard to overstate his impact on this Steelers defence. Watt’s worth has increased because he has kept this defence together despite the numerous injuries this team has faced this season.
A postseason berth is at stake for the Steelers this Saturday when they meet the Baltimore Ravens to wrap up the season. In order to defeat the NFL’s top squad, Pittsburgh will require Watt to play his finest game to date.
T.J. Watt, an All-Pro linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is on track to become the highest paid defensive player in NFL history, per reports from USA TODAY Sports and other media outlets.
Additionally, J.J. Watt, the older brother of the former Wisconsin Badger, is hoping to get some money from him.
Soon after the agreement was announced, J.J. Watt joked on Twitter to his younger brother, asking him if he should “send those outstanding IOU’s to your accountant or do you want to just Venmome?
The Steelers selected T.J. Watt with the 30th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. A source with knowledge of the agreement told USA TODAY Sports that Watt has agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $112 million ($28 million per season). Watt will also receive guarantees totaling $80 million.
According to USA TODAY Sports, the average yearly compensation for a defensive player is the highest it has ever been.
The individual talked under the condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been made public.
