Jaylen Warren is staying in Pittsburgh. Previously slated to hit free agency after the 2025 season, the Steelers signed him to a two-year extension that will keep him in Pittsburgh through 2027. The deal is deserved but arguably unexpected. Not for anything Warren’s done wrong, but the history of the Steelers and locking up running backs to extensions. Incredibly, Warren is the first Steelers running back to receive a contract extension since Willie Parker nearly 20 years ago.
August 30, 2006. That’s when Parker inked a four-year extension, fresh off a Super Bowl win in which he made history with its longest run.
