While many believe a long-term deal with TE Pat Freiermuth is inevitable, there are still some not confident that he’ll have a new deal before touching down in Atlanta Saturday evening. Appearing on 93.7 The Fan earlier today, ESPN’s Brooke Pryor downplayed the odds of a Freiermuth extension.
“I’m less optimistic that one gets done,” she told the show. “I’ve talked to some people who say it’s not looking like it.”
Pryor doesn’t offer a clue to who she spoke to and if they were inside the Steelers’ organization. It runs contrary to what Dave Bryan and I have discussed on the site and on The Terrible Podcast.
