Steelers, Polamalu agree to four-year deal

The Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to terms Saturday with Troy Polamalu on a four-year deal, according to a league source.
Both sides have been committed to trying to get a deal done for the four-time All-Pro, who had one year and $6.4 million left on his current contract.
Polamalu would be the third top Steelers defender to receive a big deal this offseason — behind LBs LaMarr Woodley and Lawrence Timmons — and the organization had a longstanding, team-imposed cutoff of the start of the regular season in which to have contracts done.

We have agreed to a contract extension with @tpolamalu signed at airport before we leave for Balt http://yfrog.com/nv1mudj
It's thru 2014 and Troy says it means he will retire a Steeler. That's not a lot of remaining years to watch such a unique player.
Great news!

4 years....that doesn't seem like very long to watch one of the most amazing football players ever. I can't think about Steelers football without Troy.
hell yes! getting all of these deals done will help us retain our future stars like Mendenhall, Sanders, Brown, etc.!

EXCELLENT NEWS!!!
I wasn't worried, I never thought for a second that Polamalu would be wearing another team's uniform.
First ballot Hall of Famer, and when he goes in it will only say PITTSBURGH STEELERS underneath that bust.

I'd rather tender him. Much, much cheaper.

Great news. Sad that he thinks he will be playing for only 4 more years.
Great short offseason for the FO. Now let's get busy on the field.
Array title="Chidi29 has a reputation beyond repute">
From what I read, it's a three year extension.

If we get 4 more good years out of Troy I will be ecstatic....
I would even be satisfied with two more solid years at this point.

Crazy to think too, but by the time the dea is up, he'll be 33. With how reckless he plays and the injury issues he's already had, he isn't going to last forever.
Troy Polamalu signs 4-year, $36.5 mill extension w/ Steelers.
One can only hope his body holds up that long.
Great off season locking up all our players. Wallace is only real concern next year but he can easily be franchised..... Can't wait till tomorrow
We needed a thread on this...

But ... but ... are defense is too old.
Good deal for the Steelers. Troy is likely done after four more seasons. And we will also have the franchise tag for one more year if his body has held up.
A link for those wanting proof since it wasnt provided..

Grats to Troy. You deserve it. Glad to see the front office get this taken care of before the season started. They've done a great job of taking care of our guys.
Great news !! Troy gonna retire in the Black/Yellow !! Signed at the airport...geesh, nothing like last minute. Guess he'll be really ready for the game now !! Congrat's TROY !!
Good with it!
