Steelers fetch in Bush for four-years worth $18.9M

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed linebacker Devin Bush to his rookie contract Sunday, a four-year deal with a fifth-year option reportedly worth nearly $19 million. Multiple outlets reported the transaction, with the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport citing the total value at $18,871,768 -- all fully guaranteed.

The Steelers traded three picks to the Denver Broncos to move up to the No. 10 slot to draft the 20-year-old Michigan star last month. The Broncos received Pittsburgh's first- and second-round selections in 2019 and a 2020 third-rounder. Bush was a consensus All-American and named the 2018 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year after racking up 66 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks for the Wolverines. In 2017, he posted career highs with 95 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks.
