The Pittsburgh Steelers and their star safety agreed to a four-year extension that will pay Fitzpatrick over $18.4 million per year, WME Sports, Fitzpatrick’s agency, confirmed to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
Fitzpatrick was also given $36 million guaranteed at signing, Schefter confirmed.
The contract, the first major deal negotiated by new Pittsburgh general manager Omar Khan, outpaces Jamal Adams’ $17.5 million per year deal.
