Overview

• DeShon Elliott agreed to a two-year, $12.5 million extension with $9.21 million guaranteed, keeping him under contract through 2027.
• Elliott recorded a career-high 108 combined tackles, led the secondary in run-defense metrics and added three fumble recoveries and an interception last season.
• T.J. Watt skipped mandatory minicamp, faces roughly $105,000 in fines and remains in contract limbo while seeking to match or exceed the league’s top defensive salaries.
• Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year deal to join Pittsburgh’s offense despite a history of public tension with Elliott.
• Head coach Mike Tomlin’s contract status remains effectively year-to-year, leaving his long-term future in Pittsburgh subject to his own decision.
