The contract is a typical, rookie contract. The deal runs for four years and includes a fifth-year option. The financial details were not disclosed at the time of the announcement.

Fautanu was selected 20th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Many believed he would be a top-15 selection, so his falling to Pittsburgh surprised some. He attended the University of Washington, where he earned All-Pac 12 first-team honors in back-to-back seasons before the draft.

With this signing completed, the Steelers are nearly done with contract negotiations with their most recent draft class. Second-round pick Zach Frazier is the only one unsigned but is expected to sign his rookie deal soon.
