The Pittsburgh Steelers are busy this Friday. First, the team announced they had signed second-round pick Keeanu Benton to a four-year contract and now according to NFL reporter Mike Garafolo the team has also signed first-round pick, offensive tackle Broderick Jones to a four-year contract.
According to Garafolo, the deal is work $16.6 million, most of which we assume will be guaranteed.
The Steelers traded up to the No. 14 pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft to select the former Georgia star to be the starting left tackle. So far, through minicamp Jones has been up and down and what seemed like a foregone conclusion that Jones will be the opening day starter might be in jeopardy. Nevertheless, the future is Jones and it’s is great he is signed before the start of training camp.
#Steelers’ deal with Broderick Jones is also done (four years, $16.6m), leaving nine first rounders unsigned. https://t.co/RJCt8HuRD3
