When it comes to rushing the passer, the only other player who appears to be a threat to Watt's stronghold on the No. 1 position is Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract ($40 million per season) earlier this offseason.

On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to terms with T.J. on a historic three-year, $123 million extension that made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history with a $41 million AAV. It surpassed wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals ($40.25 million) and rival Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett ($40 million).
