Herbig, who stopped short of calling his situation a “hold-in” during the first session of minicamp, is now locked in long-term with Pittsburgh.
He is now the third and final member of the Steelers’ EDGE rusher trio to secure a massive contract from the organization after T.J. Watt inked a three-year, $123 million pact before training camp last summer while Alex Highsmith is entering the penultimate campaign of a four-year, $68 million deal he agreed to back in July 2023.
Herbig, a fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin in the 2023 NFL Draft, has established himself as one of the league’s premier up-and-coming pass rushers while never registering as a full-time starter.

In 2025, the 24-year-old logged 7.5 sacks and three forced fumbles while seeing the field for 60 percent of the team’s defensive snaps when available.
Herbig is now in place for another half-decade and will continue to be a building block for Pittsburgh.
