Edge Nick Herbig and the Pittsburgh Steelers reached agreement today on a four-year, $100 million dollar extension that includes $42 million guaranteed per @MikeGarafolo and me.
The deal was negotiated by Joe DiBenedetto, Andy Simms and Ken Sarnoff of @1OF1FOOTBALL.
Kaden Wetjen is currently golfing while the draft is going on and just found out while on the course he was selected. He expected to meet with family later in the day.
"It came earlier than expected, and I didn't shank it into the pond after I got picked, so everything is good!"
@MikeyMunhall7 They could sign the top 15 players in the portal and it wouldn’t matter. The coach is terrible.
Good haul though - looks like they are yet again trying to play an archaic form of basketball despite Capel’s best success coming with a team that had great spacing and shooting.
Georgia Tech transfer Baye Ndongo is headed to Pittsburgh, source told @TheFieldOf68.
The 6-9 junior averaged 11.8 points and 8.1 boards this past season.
He's averaged 12.6 points and 8.5 rebounds over 90 career games at Tech.
Really good pickup for Jeff Capel - especially considering he's working with a limited NIL budget.
One high-major head coach to me:
“This has become a joke. We got guys who averaged 3 points a game asking for a million dollars. It’s completely out of control.”

JUST IN: Jeff Capel will return to Pitt next season, a source confirmed to CBS Sports. It was trending this way this week. Capel would've been owed more than $12 million if fired this season. He'll be back for a ninth year. Has one NCAAT trip in the past eight with the Panthers.
"Odds are increasing" that Aaron Rodgers returns to the Steelers next season after multiple conversations with new head coach Mike McCarthy, per @TomPelissero.
Rodgers, 42, would be entering his 22nd season in the NFL.
