Steelers and Keeanu Benton Agree to Four-Year, $72 Million Contract
The Pittsburgh Steelers and defensive tackle Keeanu Benton have agreed to a four-year, $72 million contract. The deal keeps Benton in Pittsburgh through the 2030 season and makes him the highest-paid Steelers defensive tackle in franchise history. In his third season, Benton recorded 5.5 sacks, 51 tackles, and six tackles for loss in 17 games. Benton is currently listed as a backup behind veteran Cameron Heyward and Derrick Harmon, who is expected to take a leap in his second season. While the massive contract extension is somewhat surprising given his current role, Benton will aim to have a strong 2026 season to prove the team right.
