## Resource

The Steelers are betting big on their defense, pouring hundreds of millions into star outside linebackers like Nick Herbig and T.J. Watt—despite Watt’s recent dip in sacks. With over $83 million already committed to just these three players for 2027, the team’s future hinges on whether the new defensive coordinator can reignite their elite potential. If not, this could be one of the league’s riskiest contracts—and a costly mistake. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
