Steelers Predict Multi-Year Deal for Kenneth Gainwell

0:00With the NFL today, March 3rd, Pittsburgh Steelers fans have more than just Aaron Rogers rumors on their minds right now. They're watching closely as running back Kenneth Gainwell hits free agency after a breakout season with the team. Gainwell joined the Steelers last year on a one-year deal worth $1,790,000. That turned out to be a steal, as he posted career bests with eight touchdowns and 1,023 scrimmage yards. Before that, he helped the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl two seasons back. The 27-year-old proved the perfect complement to Jalen Warren in the backfield, building strong chemistry on and off the field. Fans and analysts see him as key to the offense, especially if big changes come this off season. Steelers beat writer Nick Faribow predicts the team will go all out to resign Gainwell, likely with a multi-year contract and a nice raise. He expects Pittsburgh to push hard to keep their veteran runner. Gainwell should draw plenty of interest around the league, so it remains to be seen if the Steelers can lock him down.
