Lands four-year extension Freiermuth signed a four-year, $48.4 million contract extension with the Steelers on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact This move confirms recent rumblings that Pittsburgh was trying to get Freiermuth extended before the start of the regular season. Freiermuth is locked in through the end of the 2028 season, as the extension will kick in after the fourth and final year of his rookie contract wraps up in 2024. The 2021 second-round draft pick is looking to bounce back under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, starting with Sunday's game against the Falcons, after posting a career-low 308 receiving yards in the 2023 regular season.

Seven blockbuster trades we'd like to see before the NFL season opener

Another quiet game Freiermuth recorded one reception on one target for 10 yards in Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills.

Impact Freiermuth made his lone catch on Pittsburgh's second possession, as he was hit in the right flat by Russell Wilson for a modest gain. Though Freiermuth has had limited production in two preseason games, he currently has a strong chance to be the second-most targeted pass catch in the offense come the regular season.

Held to one reception in loss Freiermuth secured his lone target for six yards during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans.

Impact Freiermuth caught a short pass from Justin Fields on the Steelers' first drive of the game Friday, but the tight end was held in check for the other two drives in which the starters were on the field. The 2021 second-rounder took a step back last season, securing 32 of 47 targets for 308 yards and two touchdowns over 12 regular-season appearances, but he should have a chance to bounce back in 2024 since either Justin Fields or Russell Wilson will operate as the team's starting quarterback.

Hoping to re-sign long term Freiermuth said Wednesday on the Around the 412 Podcast that he wants to stay in Pittsburgh for the rest of his career, per Chris Ward of Steelers Now.

Impact The tight end is in a contract year, following a down 2023 season in which a hamstring injury cost him five games and may have limited his playing time in a few others. He caught nine passes for 120 yards in a Week 12 win over the Bengals and had five catches for 76 yards in a playoff loss to Buffalo, but otherwise Freiermuth had just 23 receptions for 188 yards and two TDs in 11 appearances. He was far more active in the passing game as a rookie (60-497-7) and again in 2022 (63-732-2), and he could be Option B behind WR George Pickens in 2024 after the Steelers hired OC Arthur Smith and traded WR Diontae Johnson to the Panthers. While Smith figures to prioritize the running game, his affinity for multi-TE formations could put Freiermuth in a near-every-down role for the first time (he averaged 42.7 snaps per game in 2021, 46.4 in 2022 and 39.5 in 2023).

Logs 21 yards against Baltimore Freiermuth secured both of his targets for 21 yards during the Steelers' 17-10 win over the Ravens on Saturday.

Impact Freiermuth had a lackluster second half of the regular season following a five-game absence earlier in the year, and he was held below 45 receiving yards for a sixth consecutive game Saturday. Across those six matchups, he secured 14 of 22 targets for 128 yards. The 2021 second-rounder reached the end zone just twice this season and hasn't been a prominent part of the passing game in recent weeks.

Logs full practice Wednesday Freiermuth (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official sitereports.

Impact Freiermuth was deemed a limited participant Tuesday, but the tight end's return to a full practice a day later sets the stage for him to be available for Saturday's game against the Bengals. Freiermuth has recorded three-catch efforts in each of his last three outings, and apart from a nine-catch outburst in Week 12, he hasn't exceeded three catches in any of the nine contests he's suited up for this season.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to knee issue Freiermuth was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice report due to a knee injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Freiermuth previously sat out Weeks 5-10 due to a hamstring issue, but a different concern is impacting his reps to begin Week 16 prep. Since returning from injured reserve Week 11, he's hauled in 19 of 28 targets for 190 yards and no touchdowns, with most of that production coming Week 12 in Cincinnati (9-120-0 on 11 targets). As such, Freiermuth will be tough to trust for production Saturday versus the Bengals if he's able to suit up.
