Former Los Angeles Chargers fullback has found a new home in Pittsburgh, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
He will join his younger brother, All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt.
The #Steelers are giving former #Chargers FB Derek Watt a deal worth $3.25M per year, source said. … or, more than double what TJ is making this year. I figure that’ll change at some point 😂

The move likely means the end of the Roosevelt Nix era, which will save $875,000. The five-year veteran sat out most of the 2019 season with a knee injury.
