Player: S Minkah Fitzpatrick
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: Minkah Fitzpatrick could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Steelers locking up DeShon Elliott for another two years. Though Fitzpatrick only has two years left on his contract, he knows he will have stability playing next to him. The Steelers don’t want to press in trying to position Fitzpatrick into playmaking opportunities. They hope, instead, that limiting the variables around him will bring that about naturally.
For at least the remainder of his current contract, Minkah Fitzpatrick will have a steady presence next to him.
