Grandson of Steelers owner Art Rooney II slams the idea of Pittsburgh signing T.J. Watt to a big contract extension

I'd like to say the take is completely off the wall, but there is some sense to it. Whenever you're about to pay someone market setting money, which, by all accounts, is what T.J. Watt wants via the title highest non-paid quarterback in the league, you obviously want a positive return on your investment. 

And Watt, no different than any stock or investment in the market, is being priced not on what he has done, but on what he will do. Of course, some of the highest share prices on the New York Stock Exchange are via companies with a long history of financial strength. 

But if traders and investors knew that those securities would suddenly plummet, or even fall over time, their price would drop. And the Steelers know, that it may not be tomorrow, or even next year, that Watt declines, but the facts of the matter are that he plays one of the most physical positions in the league and has been injured the last three seasons. 

So while paying Watt is far from insane, paying him what he wants might not be the best business.
