The Pittsburgh Steelers are lucky to have one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL rushing the quarterback. TJ Watt has been nothing but spectacular since being drafted by the organization in 2017. He is currently playing on a massive contract and based on the more recent ones signed, such as the deal Myles Garrett inked on Sunday, Watt's next payday could be astronomical. That will set up generational wealth for his family, and good news was delivered by his wife, Dani Watt, via Instagram on Monday morning.

Dani announced that she has given birth to a baby girl, which will certainly warm the hearts of Steelers fans. This is the couple's first child, making it an extremely exciting day for the Watt family.
This occurred at the perfect time for TJ and Dani, as the couple will be able to spend time together with their first child as the NFL offseason gets underway. As if the year hasn't already started off in an extremely exciting fashion, it might get even better if TJ lands a new contract before the regular season. He is due for a large payday.

This will go down as TJ's favorite offseason as a professional football player if one had to guess. He has always been relatively private about his personal life, as he should be, but it was encouraging to see a post from his wife acknowledging that the two are celebrating the birth of Blakely Marie.
The Steelers are lucky to have Watt, as he has been a consistent piece of a defense that has had some changes in recent years. It will be good for him to take a little bit of time away from the game and spend it with his wife and child. Everyone throughout Pittsburgh certainly is wishing the couple the very best during this exciting time in their lives.

Steelers Expected To Reward TJ Watt With New Contract Extension
It has not been a secret recently that TJ should get a new contract at some point in 2025. Unfortunately, the price keeps going up for the team. TJ's brother, JJ Watt, has been vocal about the status of his younger sibling's contract situation. New deals are being agreed to very quickly in the NFL right now, and if TJ is the last to sign a fresh contract, it could be larger than the rest of the non-quarterbacks out there.
Please take a minute in the comments below to congratulate TJ and Dani!
