Second Round Pick Stephon Tuitt Signs Rookie Contract

The Steelers last remaining unsigned rookie has signed his contract this morning. Second round pick DE Stephon Tuitt is now under contract. I figured the front office was going to push to finalize this deal before everyone goes on summer vacation when mini-camp breaks.

While the specifics of the deal are not available yet, I can give you a pretty accurate projection. Here are the estimates I made a month or so ago.

Player, Total Value, Signing Bonus, 2014 Cap Hit

Stephon Tuitt, “$4,607,953”, “$1,733,000”, “$853,250”

Since then, all but four 2nd round picks have signed their deals. I can say that Tuitt’s signing bonus estimate might be a tad high, and his cap number may end up being a little lower than the $853K I originally predicted.
