At some point before the 2022 NFL regular season gets underway, the Pittsburgh Steelers will likely sign safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to a long-term extension and one that should result in him being the highest-paid at his position.

“Fitzpatrick will likely be coming for Jamal Adams’ market-setting $17.5 million per year,” Fowler wrote. “He’s in the top five among safeties in interceptions since 2019 (11) and has 36 career pass deflections and two first-team All-Pro berths.
