Pittsburgh Steelers Sign Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to Massive Contract Extension

CINCINNATI — The Steelers are signing Minkah Fitzpatrick to a four-year contract worth $18.4 million per season according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. 

The deal makes Fitzpatrick the highest-paid safety in NFL history. It could also hurt the Bengals' chances of signing Jessie Bates to a long-term contract. 

They placed the franchise tag on the 25-year-old in March. Bates is set to make $12.91 million this season. 

The Bengals have until July 15th to sign him to an extension.
