The new deal is worth a purported $123 million across three years, which would make Watt the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Indeed, the tally surpasses that of both Browns lineman Myles Garrett and Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase, each of whom reset the non-QB market earlier this offseason.
Garrett received five first-place votes, two seconds and one third. Trey Hendrickson got two first-place votes and Micah Parsons received the other. T.J. Watt finished second overall, one point ahead of Parsons. Hendrickson came in fourth and Nick Bosa finished fifth.
