Not that there was ever much doubt about it, but Minkah Fitzpatrick wanted to remain in Pittsburgh long term. And the Steelers didn’t have to think twice about obliging in order to keep a two-time All Pro safety that is just now entering his prime. Both parties, but especially Fitzpatrick, received what they sought out for when he signed a four-year contract extension worth $73.6 million, with $36 million guaranteed at signing, on Wednesday afternoon.

Everything that he’s experienced so far with the organization gave him plenty of reason to make the extension paramount.
