Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth agreed to a four-year, $48.4 million contract extension.

Freiermuth's representation, Athletes First, announced the transaction over Instagram on Friday. The new deal comes two days before the Steelers open the season against the host Atlanta Falcons.

Freiermuth, 25, recorded 32 catches for 308 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games (nine starts) last season.

He has totaled 155 receptions for 1,537 yards and 11 scores in 44 games (26 starts) since Pittsburgh picked him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Penn State.
