Friday Night Happy Hour: Watt a lot of money edition

Come through and stay awhile.

Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:

  1. The big news of the last 24 hours is that T.J. Watt and the Steelers have reached an agreement on an extension that, at least on paper, keeps him with Pittsburgh through 2028. What are your initial reactions to the news? Personally, I’m glad to see the two sides get this done before camp, and I’m glad that Watt should have a decent shot at getting to retire a 1-team player.

2. Speaking of single team players, are there any young Steelers you think have a shot at playing 10-plus years and only playing for Pittsburgh?

3. After the Watt contract, the Steelers have roughly $25 million in cap space left. Do you think any more moves are coming? If so, who do you think they should bring in?

4. This week in Read & React, we made AFC North predictions. What are some of your predictions about the upcoming season?

5. Song of the Week: I’ve been on a classics kick recently in this space, but this week I’m going to have to go to a new release I’ve been playing on repeat. The hip-hop duo Clipse, consisting of brothers Pusha T and Malice, has reunited after a 16-year hiatus. This album is so good if you’re a hip-hop fan. I’ll share their opening track, which features John Legend and an outro from Stevie Wonder. In the song, the brothers celebrate the lives of their parents, who have recently passed away.
