Are you one of those people who are wondering what’s going on with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minkah Fitzpatrick? The All-Pro safety is going into his fifth season, the final year of his rookie contract, set to play under the fifth-year option. So why doesn’t he have a new deal yet?
Well, perhaps you’re a new fan, because it’s really not customary for the Steelers—and many teams—to complete extensions with their premium players, outside of the quarterback position, until later in the offseason. That typically happens during training camp, as Jason La Canfora discussed yesterday on The Fan Morning Show yesterday.
