The Pittsburgh Steelers, along with every other team in the National Football League, is waiting for there to be a new collective bargaining agreement between the players and owners in the league. That waiting period means that the teams are currently waiting to sign the players who are becoming free agents as well as work out new projects for some players who only have a year or two left on their contracts.
Steelers star strong safety Troy Polamalus is of the latter category. He has one year left on his contract and is set to make $6.4 million in 2011, but that is well below his market value. According to PittsburghLive.com, Polamalu’s agent, Marvin Demoff, tackled this subject and said, “The Steelers always have done this sort of thing the year before a contract is up. There’s been no discussion yet, but I’d say it’s highly likely that was because of the lockout. We’d be open to it, sure. Troy’s played there eight years and wants to finish his career in Pittsburgh.”
Polamalu likely has many years left in him, but a new contract probably won’t be revealed until the lockout is over. Be there to cheer him on by reserving Pittsburgh Steelers tickets from StubHub.
