Pat Freiermuth earned a four-year contract extension ahead of the 2024 season. Back then, he was expected to be a much bigger part of the offense than he is now. Although some thought he could even climb into the WR2 role, Freiermuth has now essentially been the third tight end in the room.
He’s stated he still has full trust in the organization, and is waiting for his number to be called. It was once in Sunday’s win, when he caught his only target and turned it into an 11-yard gain. It was a nice play, but Freiermuth is now at just 76 receiving yards on the year.
