Bud Dupree spoke with members of the Pittsburgh media on Sunday before the team took the field for their first practice in pads. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Dupree was asked what it’s like playing in such a pivotal year.
“Yeah, it’s fun... I’m gonna play my best. I’m gonna do my best for them, and whatever happens, happens.”
Currently playing under his fifth-year option for 2019, Dupree could sign an extension before the regular season begins. Once Week 1 hits, the Steelers do not negotiate contracts with signed players.
