Roethlisberger to get most expensive deal in Steelers history

Kevin Colbert, the Steelers' director of football operations said Ben Roethlisberger's impending new deal -- which will easily be the most expensive in club history -- has no bearing on the team's approach to free agency this year. "Ben is now in that area where he's two years out and that's when we've traditionally addressed the quarterback," Colbert said. "And we will look at guys who are one year out too, in that order." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette



Steelers eye several positions for first-round pick

Well, if this if the keystone of your franchise, the guy you intend to build around, you've got to take care of him.

As Lefty noted they need to build around him.

Somewhere Terry Bradshaw is shaking his head and thinking..."Man I was born too soon!!!"

I don't care for him as an announcer but he's probably making far more now than he was when he was playing.

I'm sure a lot of old athletes do that. They used to have to hold down real jobs in the offseason to make ends meet!
