Steelers get Pickett under contract

The Steelers have signed quarterback Kenny Pickett to a four-year contract with a team option for the fifth season, the standard contract for a first-round draft pick.

The deal, reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, will run through 2025, with the Steelers having the option of picking up his contract for the 2026 season in the spring of 2025. Terms were not immediately available.

Pickett, a former Pitt star, was the team's first-round pick and 20th-overall selection in this year's draft. He was the final first-round draft pick that was unsigned going into Thursday after the Patriots signed guard Cole Strange earlier this week.
