Before the 2024 season, Pat Freiermuth earned a four-year contract extension from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had a solid year, but with him being highly-paid, and playing with Aaron Rodgers, expectations were raised for the 2025 season.
So far, those expectations haven’t been met. But it’s not just poor play from Freiermuth, he simply isn’t getting opportunities. His lack of involvement has become a storyline in recent weeks. Some beat writers expecting him to have a bigger showing against the Cleveland Browns. Freiermuth had just one catch, and Chris Hoke thinks the tight end must be frustrated.
