J.J. Watt says Nick Bosa should be NFL’s highest paid non-QB but gives the edge to his edge-rushing brother T.J.
The way J.J. Watt has it figured, 49ers’ edge rusher Nick Bosa has a record-setting contract coming his way but won’t necessarily be the best player on the field in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.That’s Watt looking out for his brother T.J. Watt, a Steelers edge rusher and a premiere pass rusher in his own right.
Bosa remains a holdout with the regular season fast approaching on Sept. 10, with the expectation that he will become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. He is the NFL’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year and led the league in 2022 with 18 1/2 sacks in 16 games. Watt, of course, stopped short of saying Bosa was a better player than his brother T.J., who was the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2021 with 22 1/2 sacks for Pittsburgh and last year had 5 1/2 in 10 games after missing time with a torn pectoral.
