According to a report, Kenny Pickett has signed his rookie contract.
ESPN's Adam Schefter says that Pickett has signed the deal. He was the last first round pick to agree to his contract.
While he was the last, there was no real concern that he wouldn't sign.
Spotrac reports the deal is four years, worth a little over $14 million with a $7.4 million signing bonus.
Being a first round pick, the Steelers have a fifth year option on Pickett. With his current deal, he would become a free agent in 2027.
Pickett, a standout at Pitt, was the first quarterback taken in the draft at #20 and was the only QB who was selected in the first round.
Pickett ran the third team during OTAs and minicamp and says he will continue to work up to Training Camp.
"I'm nowhere where I need to be. I'm going to go home and work on fundamental things before camp and obviously stay in the playbook and kind of run through OTAs, minicamp," Pickett said during minicamp. "I have all those scripts, so I'm going to go back through that every day. The work's definitely going to continue."
Pickett also said he plans on joining his teammate, fellow quarterback Mitch Trubisky in Florida during the Steelers break.
"I know Mitch is down there, so we've already talked about meeting up down there and training a little bit, and hanging out," said Pickett.
Trubisky has been running the first team during OTAs and minicamp, with Mason Rudolph running second.
Players report to Training Camp on July 26. It's the first time camp will be at St. Vincent since the pandemic.
