Overview

  • Agent announcements confirmed a pre–Week 1 extension for Warren, elevating him from a one-year RFA tender to multi-year security.
  • Warren will earn over $7 million in 2025 with $12 million guaranteed, with reporting placing the overall value near $17.5 million when the tender is included.
  • Outlets describe the agreement as a two-year extension off the tender or a three-year total, but all reporting places his contract through the 2027 season.
  • He enters 2025 as Pittsburgh’s RB1 after Najee Harris’ departure, with rookie Kaleb Johnson and veteran Kenneth Gainwell slated to share complementary snaps.
  • Before the new deal, Warren was on a second-round RFA tender worth about $5.35 million and had produced 4.8 yards per carry since entering the NFL as a 2022 undrafted free agent.
