Polamalu Signs New Deal

Bumped from the diaries. --PB--

It's a five-year contract worth potentially $33 mil. Troy is now the highest-paid safety in the NFL, and the highest-paid Steeler. He's worth it.

Alan Faneca, as we all know, will not be back when his contract expires at the end of this season. Clark Haggans, Max Starks, Danny Kreider, and Kendall Simmons are also in the last year of their current deals.

I really like Kreider and what he does for the team, but he's getting older and we'll probably have less room for a fullback over the next few seasons anyway (assuming that singleback and two/three TE formations really are coming). Simmons may yet regain his form, but I doubt it. I'm even less optimistic about Starks - I'll be shocked if someone else, likely Colon, isn't starting at his position when we play Cleveland. Haggans will be valuable for the depth he brings.

Camp started a few minutes ago. No arrests and no accidents this year - woo hoo!

Great news
No holdouts from draft picks and we got Troy locked up until he's 31.  We'll probably see a Faneca like situation when that runs out but hey it's a beautiful day today.  Camp starts and we can officially welcome the football season!!!
