Steelers sign Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington to contract extensions

The Pittsburgh Steelers extended contracts for edge rusher Nick Herbig and tight end Darnell Washington on June 4, 2026. Herbig received a four-year, $100 million deal, while Washington's extension is worth $42 million over four years. Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. and defensive lineman Keeanu Benton, both from the 2023 draft class, remain under rookie contracts expiring after the 2026 season and are seen as deserving future extensions. However, first-round offensive tackle Broderick Jones is currently facing injury issues that have left his status uncertain.
