5 years agoPittsburgh Steelers pass-rusher Bud Dupree signed his franchise tender on Thursday morning. The linebacker will earn just over $15.8 million for the upcoming 2020 season. Dupree is coming off his best season as a pro, finishing with 11.5 sacks, 16 tackles for a loss, four forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. There is a possibility that the Steelers try to get Dupree locked up with a long-term contract but at the very least he will be around in 2020 to anchor Pittsburgh's pass rush.--Matt T - RotoBaller
