Steelers Re-Sign Troy Polamalu to Four-Year Deal

As first broken by Jason La Canfora, the Steelers and safety Troy Polamalu have agreed on a new four-year contract. Terms were not immediately available, but the sides were discussing numbers above what Eric Weddle got from the Chargers.

The number mentioned was $9M/year, which is probably a little high if it's really for 4 years. But maybe it's good kharma.

I'm sure it's front loaded.

Where is the link for Adrian Peterson's extension? Anti-Vikings bias!

No, this is an anti-my-fantasy-team bias!!!

It was more of an "anti-spending time on the computer during this glorious day" bias. But it's up now.

I'm more willing to forgive anti-Vikings or anti-Drunkmonkey's fantasy team bias, personally.

Note, since this is FO: This is a joke.

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Beating by one day their own self-imposed deadline of not negotiating player contracts once the regular season begins, the Steelers signed Polamalu to a four-year, $35.5 million contract that includes a $10.55 million signing bonus that will keep the six-time Pro Bowl player with the team through 2014.

Good deal for the best defender in the league.

Good deal for the second best safety in the division.

Why? Will it help Ed renegotiate? ;)

(We're both lucky to get to watch those two guys.)

But the pertinent question is, will they continue to be the best safeties in the league over the next four years?

The best front office in the NFL does it again.
