Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby’s massive new three-year, $106.5 million deal almost certainly caught the attention of T.J.

As the Steelers’ offseason kicks into high gear with the launch of NFL free agency on Wednesday, their handling of T.J. Watt’s contract situation figures to exemplify the weakness of their organization.

“T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers is also in the final year of his four-year, $112 million contract,” Pauline wrote. “Watt has combined for 30.5 sacks the past two seasons, winning Pro Bowl and various All-Pro honors each year. Sources say an extension now would award Watt somewhere in the range of $35 to $37 million annually.”
