The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially signed first-round pick Max Iheanachor to his rookie contract, securing one of the franchise’s most intriguing young building blocks before rookie minicamp begins.
According to the team, Iheanachor signed a four-year rookie contract worth $20.692 million, including a signing bonus of $11.598 million and a fifth-year team option.
