RB Jaylen Warren, Steelers agree to 2-year extension

Running back Jaylen Warren and the Pittsburgh Steelers are in agreement on a two-year contract extension.

His agent, David Canter, posted the news on social media Monday.

Warren was set to earn $5.3 million in 2025 but now will receive $7 million this year, NFL Network reported. The new deal includes $12 million guaranteed and is worth nearly $17.5 million through the 2027 season, per the report.

Warren is tops on the Steelers' depth chart at running back after backing up Najee Harris, who signed a free-agent deal with the Los Angeles Chargers in March.

The Steelers originally signed Warren as an undrafted free agent in 2022.

In 48 games in a reserve role, Warren has totaled 1,674 rushing yards with six touchdowns. He has added 894 yards on 127 receptions.

Behind him on the depth chart is rookie Kaleb Johnson, a third-round draft pick from Iowa.

The Steelers open the season Sunday at the New York Jets.
