4:30 p.m. — On Thursday afternoon, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end T.J. Watt signed a three-year, $123 million extension, making him the highest paid non-QB in NFL history for the second time in his career.<\/p>\n
That divides into $41 million per year, which could become a new target point for Cowboys All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons, who is also seeking a contract extension. That said, at his youth camp in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania earlier this week, Parsons said that each player’s contract situation is different and the numbers may not all correlate.<\/p>\n
“Their numbers got nothing to do with mine, and my numbers ain’t got nothing to do with them\u2026” Parsons said. “I’m younger than [Trey] Hendrickson. I mean, [Aidan] Hutchinson’s coming off an injury. Everyone’s circumstances is completely different\u2026 You know, it’s different. Everyone’s circumstance is different.”<\/p>\n
Parsons has said in the past that he’s hopeful the two sides can come to an agreement before the team heads to Oxnard on July 20, and the clock is ticking quickly towards that deadline. Could Watt’s deal speed up the process? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"4:30 p.m. — On Thursday afternoon, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end T.J.
