Drew Rosenhaus knows that the Pittsburgh Steelers are not like almost any other organization in the NFL in terms of both their history and in their business practices. This is both a positive and a negative for him within the confines of his job. He knows that signing with the Steelers typically offers his clients more practical long-term security but minimal concrete financial security and typically a low upfront value.
According to former Steelers center Justin Hartwig, Rosenhaus, who was his agent at the time, advised him to sign with Pittsburgh in free agency, as he told Aditi Kinkhabwala.
