In a move that is set to send shockwaves throughout the NFL, the pittsburgh steelers have announced the double resigning of two of their key players.
according to sources close to the team, the steelers have agreed to new deals with star wide receiver diontae johnson and dominant defensive lineman cameron heyward.
the resigning of johnson and heyward is a major coup for the steelers, who have been working tirelessly to keep their core players together. the new deals are reportedly worth a combined total of over $100 million, with johnson signing a 4-year extension worth $60 million and heyward inking a 3-year deal worth $42 million.
“we’re thrilled to have diontae and cam back in the fold,” said steelers coach mike tomlin. “these two players are key members of our team and we’re excited to see them continue to make big plays for us in the years to come.”
the resigning of johnson and heyward is also a testament to the steelers’ commitment to building a winning culture. under the leadership of tomlin and the rooney family, the steelers have established themselves as one of the premier franchises in the nfl.
“we’re proud of the team we’re building here in pittsburgh,” said steelers president art rooney ii. “we’re committed to winning and we’re willing to do whatever it takes to bring another championship to the city of pittsburgh.”
