"TJ Watt isn't going anywhere this year and he's going to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers..
I don't get the sense that Alex Highsmith is going anywhere either" ~ @RapSheet#PMSLive
I remember when Darnell Washington was drafted, folks said he’ll only play a handful of years because he has bad knees. Thats why he “fell” in the draft.
Steelers just made him the highest paid blocking tight end.
That’s why you can’t listen to the talking heads. He’s a dog.

The Steelers and tight end Darnell Washington have reached agreement on a four-year, $42M extension, per sources.
The deal includes $21M guaranteed.
Steelers and agent @PerrettM at @PrioritySports reached deal tonight.
No #Steeler from the 2022 draft class received a multi-year 2nd contract. Only one from '21 class did (Freiermuth).
Herbig the first from 2023. Others (Porter/Washington/Benton) could/will join. '24 class looks promising.
Draft. Develop. Retain. Pittsburgh's returning to that.
