The Steelers have already signed Cam Heyward to a contract extension, but they have five other candidates, Gerry Dulac argues. They are the obvious candidates, granted, including their top four contributors from the 2023 NFL Draft class. For the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the veteran beat writer looked at each player’s candidacy.
The most obvious and immediate extension candidate for the Steelers is K Chris Boswell. Unless Brandon Aubrey signs a record-shattering deal soon, they should make him the highest-paid kicker in the game, Dulac writes. In his words, Boswell “would appear to be the most likely to receive a contract extension, one that would put him at or near the top of the league at his position”.
