The Watt family is celebrating a major milestone — and older brother J.J. Watt isn’t holding back his pride.

After the Pittsburgh Steelers signed T.J. Watt to a massive three-year, $123 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, J.J. took to social media with just three words:
“Earned. Deserved. Incredible.”

The message, though short, spoke volumes. It was a proud endorsement not only of his younger brother’s relentless work ethic but also a nod of respect to the Steelers organization for recognizing T.J.’s value.

T.J. Watt has become a cornerstone of the Steelers defense, racking up sacks, setting records, and leading with intensity every snap. Now, the $123 million deal — including $108 million guaranteed — cements his legacy and secures his place in Pittsburgh for years to come.

J.J., a former Defensive Player of the Year himself, knows what greatness looks like — and in his eyes, the Steelers just made the right call.

As fans celebrate the deal, the Watt brothers have once again reminded the NFL why their name stands for dominance, discipline, and pure football excellence.
