The Pittsburgh Steelers made a long-term commitment to safety Minkah Fitzpatrick this offseason, keeping one of their foundational defensive pieces in house for the foreseeable future. As far as financials go, former NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson believes that Fitzpatrick has earned everything he has coming to him.
When it comes to money, Fitzpatrick’s deal includes a $17.5 million signing bonus, a base salary of $4 million for this upcoming season, and will have a roster bonus for 2022 of $624,235. Good players don’t come cheap in the modern NFL and when it comes to what he brings on the field, Johnson stated via NFL on ESPN that Fitzpatrick is one of the best.
