Breaking News: Troy and Steelers agree to 4 year contract!

[Count Steeler]

A pick six against the Ravens would be a nice cherry on top.

[ALLD]

I was thinking this would be BB's game on Sunday, but don't be surprised if "Raven-killing" Polamalu is a one man wrecking crew.

[steelpinstripe87]

YES!! Best birthday present ever!

[Bluecoat96]

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

Exactly. The beauty is that we don't have to franchise him next year, since he won't be an unrestricted free agent. I think the next big lucrative contract we need to do is Omar Khan's, since the man is a freaking contract/salary cap genius.

[HometownGal]

Awesome!!!

[X-Terminator]

So I get to keep my Troy jersey for another 4 years!

I agree with whoever suggested Omar Khan get a big, fat raise. If he's not the best capologist and negotiator in the business, I don't know who is.

10.55 signing bonus. Not too bad.

For those who know the cap better than I do, does that get prorated over this year too or the three new years?

[steelerdude15]

I'm extremely pleased with this. So happy he'll always be a Steeler.

Congrats Troy - now get a couple of int's tomorrow !!!

[Buckinnuts]

just hurt Flacco Sunday ...that's a big bonus

[st33lersguy]

YAY!!!

[Nadroj 20]

Very glad to hear about this!!

[tihmtahm]

So awesome!!! Glad that's out of the way.

[SteelerEmpire]

4 yrs then retire ? That's a lil jerky... Troy will be around longer than that.

[Steeldude]

with that, i see some veterans being let go next season. i figure aaron smith won't be re-signed unless heyward and hood struggle. even then he would only be re-signed at minimum cost for a verteran of his tenure.

So I get to keep my Troy jersey for another 4 years!

What it really means is that our #43 jerseys are destined to become treasured classic throwbacks!

And I will have two....my Hines and my Troy jerseys!!

[Austin87]

Great news!

[86WARD]

Good news. I wouldn't have minded seeing them work on this after the season to see how he holds up this year. With the exception of Wallace, all the key cogs are in place for 2012 and he's not going anywhere without some nice compensation so on with 2011!!!

[suitanim]

Excellent. And his agent didn't hamstring the Steelers with some 7 year deal that both sides know would never be honored.
