Outstanding!!! I'm excited to hear that Ike is staying.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Sure would be nice. A big headache avoided. Then we'd just have to worry about a second one and signing a couple others.
Steelers agree to four-year contract with Taylor
Veteran CB can't officially re-sign until 6 p.m. Friday
By Ed Bouchette and Ray Fittipaldo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
All along, the Steelers privately expressed confidence that they would re-sign Ike Taylor, and late Tuesday they came through by agreeing to a four-year contract with their best cornerback over the past decade.
Money terms were not immediately available.
Taylor, who told one member of the organization early this week that he would be back, will return for his ninth season. He cannot officially sign his contract until 6 p.m. Friday and cannot join his teammates in practice at training camp until Aug. 4, per a new rule under the collective bargaining agreement.

Great news now lets get some others resigned.
Wow! Seriously good news right here. Great feeling knowing that Ike will propably retire a Steeler!
Array title="Count Steeler has a reputation beyond repute">
Great news. Has this been confirmed? Still nothing on Steelers.com. Nothing on nfl.com.
Don't think the Steelers will go after another CB. With 4 CBs in the last 2 drafts, gotta believe Rooney won't want to spend more on this position. I think the expectations are that 1 of these CBs will step up, McFadden and Butler?
Phew! I was looking at the schedule and wondering what Peyton Mannings's numbers would look like in week 4 at home against B-MAC and Gay.
Thank Christ we won't have to find out!

Yessss Ike!!!
I like IKE!!!
He may not catch a lot of passes but I never wanted to see him playing in anything other than Steelers Black and Gold!!!
Yeeeeeepp!
SWAGGIN!
Wouldn't mind Joseph on the other side...lol.

Thank you!..I love you IKE...great news!
I would too, but they only have $120 million to spend, and they still have to sign all of their draft picks. It'll either be McFadden or a cheap upgrade, because Joseph is going to hit the jackpot.

Me too man. I was worried about that for sure.
Yeah I bet Jake Delhomme is pissed....
Our secondary would have been scary without ike. Now we need to lock up woodley longterm.
Array title="43Hitman has a reputation beyond repute">
yeah, and we need to get better opposite Ike. They way McFadden played at the end of the season isn't going to cut it. You have to think teams are going to pick on him.
I'm hoping Butler steps up.
Amen, and if Harrison could have "felt his legs".
I gotta think Mcfadden is staying cause our defensive scheme is a little tricky to learn for a new player. Even a Vet player. BTW, I HOPE the Jets do land Nnamdi, cause one I think he is a bit overrated. And two, the Jets CLEAR second need is for Pass Rushers. They SHOULD be trying to sign Woodley to deal, and make us match it. But it seems they are fixated on a Revis/Nnamdi secondary. Hell, without a good pass rush, ANY Secondary will eventually get torched.

Great news i thought it might take a few days to resign him. That happened fast!! IKE is our best CB since Woodson top 3 Steelers CB of all time IMO
Top-3 All time ????
1) Mel Blundt
2) Woodson
3) Butler
Just my opinion.
Not to mention the likes of Mike Wagner, or even JT Thomas. I like Ike, but he is not close to a top-3 CB of all time as a Steeler...Please!!
It's great to have your opinion but please don't belittle another members opinion..
Sal, his opinion IS his opinion. I wasn't belittling it was I ? I was more questioning it, or maybe how long he has been a Steelers fan to believe that Ike is a top-3 all time DB. I mean do you think he is Sal ? I mean Ike is better then okay, for sure. A Darn good Yomans CB. But, and this is just MY opinion Sal, I would take Wagner, or Woodruff, or Washington even over Ike. But I didn't mean to belittle him Sal. Sorry if he, or you thought that.
Agree...gotta start with opening the Bank of Ben. But Joseph or even Rogers would be nice over there on the other side!!
Your right..it is his opinion and it does not matter how long of a Steelers fan he is..plus it don't matter what i think....by you ending you post with a "please" in regards to his opinion was belittling....
back on topic...
Okay Sal. As for another free agent DB, well maybe if they cut Mcfadden. But at some point you gotta take a chance on all the rookies we drafted. I mean Lewis, Butler, and now Brown. If we do sign another free agent CB starter, then why keep say Lewis ? He has had more then anough time to prove himself. But I would look to have a open competition with Mcfadden, and the other youngsters. And if one of them wins the job over Mcfadden, then I bet D-Mac will be released. But if not, and Mcfadden wins the job, then I bet maybe Lewis is let go.
Again, I'm REALLY hoping Butler steps up.
Again, I'm REALLY hoping Butler steps up.
So by your statement can I assume you have lost any faith in Lewis ? And that like some here, you may thing that the Texas kid Brown is more of a Safety replacement for Clark then a starting CB ?...Just wondering :-)
