IT IS DONE: Latest Contract of Day Pittsburgh Pirates Legend player T. J. Watt Signed 4 years new contract deal $7.9 million with the… see more

In a move that stunned both baseball and football fans alike, NFL superstar linebacker T.J. Watt, widely known for terrorizing quarterbacks on Sundays, has reportedly signed a 4-year, $7.9 million contract… with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Yes, you read that right.

According to reports filed under “Huh?”, Watt was seen walking into PNC Park wearing a custom baseball jersey with the number 90 stitched across the back—his signature number from the Steelers. When asked why he was joining an MLB team, he simply replied:

“I’ve already sacked everyone in football. Time to hit dingers.”

🧢 The Pirates Respond

The Pirates front office, long in search of a spark to reignite fan interest, released a statement:

“We believe T.J. brings elite athleticism, passion, and an unmatched willingness to dive headfirst into anything—even if he’s never swung a bat in a professional setting.”

Manager Derek Shelton, meanwhile, tried to remain diplomatic:

“Is he fast? Sure. Is he strong? Absolutely. Can he hit a curveball? …We’re gonna find out.”

💰 The Deal

T.J. Watt’s 4-year, $7.9 million deal includes:

• A batting bonus of $1 million if he hits one home run off a live pitcher.

• A “No Tackle” clause, barring him from tackling umpires or base coaches.

• Unlimited Primanti Bros. sandwiches in the dugout.

Interestingly, the contract allows him to play both sports simultaneously, under a “Bo Jackson Revival Clause” quietly negotiated by his agent and a confused league office intern.

🧠 Confusion Among Fans

Steelers fans flooded social media in disbelief:

• @StillCurtain95: “Is this a prank? Or are we building the first two-sport defensive hitter in history?”

• @YinzNationOfficial: “Just make sure he’s back for Week 1. Let him play third base or hot dog vendor, I don’t care.”

Meanwhile, Pirates fans are cautiously optimistic:

“Honestly, we’ve had worse signings.”

🏆 Legacy in the Making?

While some consider the move bizarre, others are calling it visionary. ESPN analysts debated for hours, with one suggesting:

“T.J. Watt hitting cleanup behind Oneil Cruz might actually work… if pitchers are scared of getting tackled.”

The real question remains: can Watt become the next Deion Sanders or Bo Jackson—or is this just a bizarre PR stunt?

🚨 Coming Up Next…

Rumors are circulating that fellow Steelers star George Pickens has been spotted at Penguins practice, and Kenny Pickett was seen holding a golf club like he meant business.

Could this be the start of a city-wide cross-sport invasion?

Stay tuned.
