The Pittsburgh Steelers like everybody else have a number of items on their agenda this offseason when it comes to what business they’d like to get done. There are the things about which a decision has to be made one way or another—like retaining Matt Canada as offensive coordinator—but then there are other matters with a more flexible timetable. Like attempting to sign players to contract extensions.
The number one candidate for extension for the Steelers this offseason, by far, is three-year veteran outside linebacker Alex Highsmith, who recorded 14.5 sacks in 2022 along with a league-leading five forced fumbles.
