Two days after NFL Network’s Aditi Kinkhabwala reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers are “very, very close” to getting an extension done with star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers’ insider Gerry Dulac is reporting that those extension talks haven’t even started.
Appearing on the 93.7 The Fan PM Show with co-hosts Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller, Kinkhabwala said the extension will make Fitzpatrick the highest-paid safety in the NFL.
“And I still am told that that deal is very, very close to getting done,” Kinkhabwala said during a Monday interview on 93.
