The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed TE Pat Freiermuth to a long-term deal, securing his place with the team for the next several seasons. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, it’s a four-year, $48.4 million extension.
Freiermuth, still just 25 years old, was expected to receive an extension, though his injury-riddled 2023 season complicated those odds a little bit. His deal occurred later than some anticipated but was inked before the Steelers’ self-imposed deadline of the regular season start.
The team’s second round pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, Freiermuth has proven to be a sure-handed and steady wide receiver.
