The Pittsburgh Steelers 2020 season ended Sunday night and with that, the team’s offseason is now underway. As usual, the Steelers have several big decisions to make in the coming weeks and months that will not only impact their 2021 season, but future seasons as well. A few of those early offseason decisions revolve around fifth-year options needing to be picked up or declined on two players, safeties Minkah Fitzpatrick and Terrell Edmunds.
When it comes to Fitzpatrick’s fifth-year option decision for the 2022 season, it’s an easy one for the team to make. Barring something catastrophic happening, the Steelers will pick up Fitzpatrick’s fifth-year option.
