Steelers Sign Tight End Darnell Washington to a New Five-Year Contract
- On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed tight end Darnell Washington to a four-year, $42 million contract extension with $21 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
- The Steelers extended linebacker Nick Herbig on Tuesday with a $100 million deal, signaling management's commitment to retaining core talent entering the new era under head coach Mike McCarthy.
- Last year, Washington recorded 31 receptions for 364 yards, demonstrating his value as both a receiver and blocker within the Pittsburgh offense over his first three seasons.
- Head coach Mike McCarthy praised Washington's versatility, stating, "Year 1, as you get to know your players, there's certain schemes you may tilt one way or the other." The tight end is central to those adjustments.
