The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a significant move by extending EDGE rusher Nick Herbig with a four-year contract worth $100 million, including $42 million guaranteed. This deal, finalized during the first day of mandatory minicamp, secures Herbig's position with the team through the 2029 season. Initially considered a surprising choice for an extension ahead of other draft class members, Herbig's performance has justified the Steelers' decision. His average annual value of $25 million positions him as the 16th highest-paid EDGE rusher in the NFL, indicating that the team may have secured a bargain given his potential. Herbig's impressive stats include 47 pressures, ranking him 30th in the league, and a leading 25% pass rush win rate in 2025. With nine forced fumbles in his career, Herbig has proven to be a valuable asset for the Steelers, showcasing his ability to create turnovers. As the team looks to the future, Herbig's growth could make him the top pass rusher in Pittsburgh.
