Adam Schefter just threw his name in the T.J. Watt contract prediction hat — offering a bold take on the future of the edge rusher market.
On Tuesday's episode of ESPN's Unsportsmanlike, Schefter compared Trey Hendrickson and T.J. Watt — arguably the two biggest defenders seeking contracts right now — to the deals of Raiders DE Maxx Crosby and Browns DE Myles Garrett:
"Hendrickson, Watt, I think they'll be in the Crosby, Garrett range," Schefter said. "Somewhere in there. Micah Parsons, I expect to become the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. That's the deal that I expect to trump the other deals."
Watt signing a deal between Crosby's $35.5 million per year and Garrett's $40 million per year is the bed the Steelers made for themselves after failing to extend him last season on a "hometown discount" — as his brother J.J. Watt so eloquently described it.
