Steelers look to extend Troy Polamalu

Posted by Michael David Smith

In 2007, with Troy Polamalu heading into the final season of his contract, the Steelers locked him up through 2011 with a five-year, $33 million extension. Now Polamalu is heading into the final season of that contract, and the Steelers want to lock him up again.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that the Steelers will turn their efforts toward a long-term deal with Polamalu that could be the final contract of Polamalu’s career.

“My only comment is, because I know things can really get misconstrued a lot, is that everything regarding our contract talks will stay between the Rooneys and my agent,” Polamalu said. “Other than that, I would love to retire a Pittsburgh Steeler.”

I just can't get too worked up about Polamalu contract talks. Let me know when he's re-signed.

Yeah, I'm going to be honest here. This is something I have a little concern about. Polamalu'll resign.

I remember when Woodson was at the end of his contract and injuries began plaguing him. I thought he still had it in him to play the game. I feel the same way about Troy, maybe that he can still be the leader the defense needs but he needs to be move to FS and roam the field, playing the deep ball and the occassional blitz package.
