Look: T.J. Watt’s Fiancee, Dani Rhodes, Reacts To Massive Contract News

September 10, 2021 by The Spun

T.J. Watt with Dani Rhodes.

On Thursday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Steelers finally locked down star pass rusher T.J. Watt with a longterm contract.

After it looked like the deal might not get done before the 2021 season kicked off, Pittsburgh made Watt the highest-paid defensive player in the league. The Steelers offered him a four-year, $112 million deal.

The contract also includes $80 million guaranteed at signing. Just a few hours after inking the new deal, Watt received a message from his fiancee.

Dani Rhodes, who plays professional soccer in Iceland, posted a message for her fiance. Here’s what she had to say, via her Instagram.

“Hardest working person I know. There is no one more deserving. Congratulations babe. I’m so beyond proud of you. I love you and can’t wait to celebrate soon!”

The couple was engaged earlier this summer.

Watt spared no expense on the ring, either.

“We’re told the ring features a 2.5-carat flawless colorless triple EX graded diamond — which is very rare — and has 18k of white gold with 1.33 carats of VVS-flawless diamonds in the band,” TMZ reported. “All total, we’re told the ring is valued at $100K!!!”

Of course, he likely knew his major payday was coming sooner rather than later when he made the purchase.

Watt will have to earn every penny of that deal with a tough battle against the Buffalo Bills looming this weekend.
