The Morning After Huddle: June 16, 2022

Welcome to your Thursday edition of The Morning After Huddle, your favorite news source for news you want to know! Dollar dollar dollar dollar dollar bills, y’all! Minkah Fitzpatrick is a paid man!

Here’s what you need to know:

• Secured the bag! The Steelers and Minkah Fitzpatrick agreed on a mammoth deal yesterday worth almost $74 million, making it the largest safety contract in NFL history. The 4-year deal includes $36 million guaranteed and ties Minkah to the organization through 2026. Not bad a haul for three draft picks.
• Dan Snyder is going to be Dan Snyder. It appears he has declined to appear before Congress to testify about workplace misconduct. Among several reasons that his lawyers listed, Snyder argues that he has pressing Commanders business to attend to that day, contradicting previous reports that he is not involved in the day-to-day dealings of the team. Presumably, he will receive a subpoena that will compel him to appear.
• Without further ado, your Key Signings Roundup: 
  • Colts Safety Khari Willis is retiring from the NFL at the age of 26 to pursue ministry full time. (From this Colts fan: Thank you, Khari! Going to miss you, 37.)
  • The Rams are signing TE Jared Pinkney and RB A.J. Rose.
  • The Patriots are signing WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey.
