ピッツバーグ・スティーラーズは、今オフシーズンに2023年のドラフト指名選手のうち複数名に対して、複数年の契約延長を提示する意向だ。これが実現すれば、同球団としては15年ぶりの快挙となる。
同球団が同一のドラフト指名クラスから複数の選手と契約延長を行ったのは、2011年のグループが最後である。そのクラスからは、4度の契約延長にサインしたキャム・ヘイワードを筆頭に、マーカス・ギルバートやコルテス・アレンらが長期契約を締結した。それ以降、スティーラーズが契約延長を行ったドラフト指名選手はT.J.ワットやパット・フライアーマスらを含めて7名にとどまっており、同一クラスから複数名が選ばれた例はなかった。
