The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly agreed to a two-year, $12.5 million contract extension with DeShon Elliott and assuming the early numbers passed along are correct, the veteran safety received a nice pay raise for the 2025 season. In fact, prior to him agreeing to terms on this extension, Elliott had a career cash earning total of $9,818,800. If indeed Elliott will now earn $9.21 million in 2025, as the early reporting suggests he will, he will nearly double his career earnings after this season.
The writing was on the wall that Elliott might ultimately sign an extension this offseason, especially on the heels of the team signing fellow veteran safety Juan Thornhill to a one-year, $3 million contract earlier in the offseason.
