Watt, brother of TJ and JJ Watt, played for the Steelers from 2020 to 2022 after a few years with the Chargers. He mostly functioned as a road-paving blocker for ball carriers in Pittsburgh, notching just ten carries over three seasons. Watt, 31, scored two touchdowns in seven NFL seasons.

Pittsburgh, which started the offseason $3.3 million under the presumed NFL salary cap, will create a little more space with Watt's redone contract. Watt, 28, missed four games in 2020 after playing 16 games in each of his first four years in Pittsburgh.
