Worst kept secret in the Steelers organization is super agent David Mulugheta who is an absolute boss at the negotiating table, wants to take his client To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
Mulugheta reps a number of current and former star players including Micah Parsons, Tee Higgins, Jesse Bates, Christian Wilkins, Derwin James, Jalen Ramsey. His client base is quite large of big-name players and growing. Among his QB clients: Deshaun Watson ($230 Million Guaranteed), Jordan Love ($160 Million Guaranteed), C.J. Stroud. Stroud will be another QB to land a $200 Million + Contract in 2026.
Justin Fields is not in the same category of any of those three at the time they signed monster deals, but that’s led to Mulugheta being determined to set the market for a borderline starter like Fields, hence, a belief he can secure second tier/third tier QB money for his client. Mulugheta has shopped Fields around the league as a budding star in the right situation. Some of the numbers [hide] being thrown around on Fields is a I’ll believe it when I see it and if he signs with the Steelers before free agency it will prove the agent was pushing some falsehoods that Fields has a $20 million+ a year market, which is a number the Steelers will not even consider or venture towards. They have a specific number they are willing to bring Fields back on and it’s not legitimate NFL starter money. [/hide]
