Will Pat Freiermuth sign his new contract extension with the Steelers today?
With the Brandon Aiyuk situation well behind them, the Steelers are finally settling their in-house business. Yesterday, they completed a new three-year contract with Cameron Heyward, so what will today hold? Even if not today, the next item on the agenda seems to be TE Pat Freiermuth.
A 2021 second-round pick, Freiermuth is entering the last year of his contract. Although he is coming off a down year, the Steelers believe he will benefit greatly from their new offense. Arthur Smith runs a tight-end-friendly scheme, and Russell Wilson should target him more consistently than Kenny Pickett did.
