Colin Cowherd Bashes Minkah Fitzpatrick Signing

Not everyone agrees that the Pittsburgh Steelers should've signed Minkah Fitzpatrick to a record-setting contract extension. In particular, Colin Cowherd believes the All-Pro is certainly not worth the money.

Cowherd didn't hold back talking about the poor decision on the Steelers signing Fitzpatrick, saying the standard is sinking in Pittsburgh. In fact, his thoughts on Mike Tomlin's winning seasons is that it seems like something the Browns would celebrate.

Cowherd goes on to talk about how T.J. Watt is the only player on the defense that deserves the mega pay raise. Meanwhile, he continues to say Fitzpatrick is a good player, but the Steelers defense being ranked 24th in the NFL last season doesn't justify a record-breaking deal.

"The standard in Pittsburgh, in the 70s, 80s, 90, 2000s, my whole life, was Super Bowls. And not just getting to them," Cowherd said.

Cowherd also addresses the spending habits of the Steelers in the last two years, becoming the NFL's highest paid defense and lowest paid offense.

Overall, he's not satisfied with the signing, and makes that very clear with his take.

The Steelers have made Minkah Fitzpatrick the highest-paid safety in NFL history...
