## Resource

Steelers are locking down their draft gems—Porter Jr., Washington, Herbig—all signed to extensions, signaling GM Omar Khan’s commitment to building a core. But Keeanu Benton, who had a breakout 2025 with more sacks and tackles for loss than his first two seasons combined, may be the odd man out. Insiders suggest he doesn’t fit long-term plans, and with his contract year looming, a stellar 2026 could push him toward lucrative free agency—just like Javon Hargrave did in 2019. With Cam Heyward aging, the Steelers desperately want to keep Benton, but the math might not add up.
