The Pittsburgh Steelers were anticipating the departure of Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns, believing they would benefit from a weakened rival. However, Garrett has signed a four-year extension worth $160 million, solidifying his role as a franchise player for the Browns. This impacts the Steelers significantly, as they now face the challenge of negotiating a new deal for their star linebacker, T.J. Watt, who will likely seek compensation near Garrett's hefty contract. With the Steelers already managing the highest-paid defense in the NFL and needing to address their quarterback situation, this puts added pressure on their roster decisions moving forward.
