As the contract standoff between the Cincinnati Bengals and star safety Jessie Bates III continues, another high-caliber safety has gotten his long term deal. Minkah Fitzpatrick, who was in the same draft class as Bates, agreed to terms with a record contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers Wednesday.
Steelers and All-Pro S Minkah Fitzpatrick reached agreement on a massive four-year contract extension worth over $18.4 million per year, with $36M gtd at signing, per source. The deal, negotiated and confirmed by @WME_Sports, makes Fitzpatrick the highest paid S in NFL history.
