Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth is entering a contract year, and I’m sure his agent is studying new deals tight ends are signing like the latest by the Houston Texans’ Dalton Schultz. A six-year veteran, he reportedly signed a three-year contract worth $36 million, including $23.5 million guaranteed at signing.
Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette believes that’s an appropriate ballpark for the Steelers and Freiermuth this offseason. Asked about the subject in his latest chat session, he affirmed, “That sounds about right for Freiermuth too, give or take”.
A second-round draft pick out of Penn State in 2021, Freiermuth enters the final year of his deal at an inopportune time.
