Well, folks, we are a couple of hours away from the Vikings' third, and arguably most important, pre-season game of 2008. They'll also be in the national spotlight this evening, as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Metrodome. As far as the Vikings' injury situation, it looks like Tarvaris Jackson isn't going to play after all, and in my estimation, that's the right move to ...Pittsburgh Steelers' Farrior Agrees To New Contract
Posted 8/23/2008 on Blogcritics Section: Sports
The Steelers' linebacker agrees to generous 5-year contract. The Pittsburgh Steelers' James Farrior has signed a new five-year contract, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Steelers linebacker has had a pretty successful career and the contract will take him through the 2012 season, when he’ll be 38 years old, so this will probably be the last contract of his NFL career.Farrior ...Ill-Advised NFL Previews: AFC North

1) Pittsburgh Steelers - It’s Big Ben’s team and the offensive line is a bit thin right now, although getting ridd of the supposedly malcontent Alan Faneca may be addition by subtraction.

Posted 8/22/2008 on FanHouse
After a very quiet August on the signing front, the Steelers surprised most everyone by announcing that James Farrior will be sticking around Pittsburgh through 2012 or his retirement speech (which will more likely come before 2012). Keeping Farrior in black and gold keeps everyone happy. Farrior clearly wanted to stay in Pittsburgh, the Steelers keep one of the defense's leaders, and the ...Steelers, Farrior Agree to New 5-Year Deal
Posted 8/21/2008 on Doubt About It
The Steelers and James Farrior agreed to a new 5-year, $18.25 million deal today. It includes a $5 million signing bonus. I have mixed feelings about this deal. On one hand, I do not like the idea of giving out third contracts to players over 30 years old. This is how teams get into cap hell, because they will ultimately face the prospect of being hamstrung by an underperforming aging ...Steelers Sign Farrior To Extension

Posted 8/20/2008 on The Steel Tradition
Charlie Batch was a near certainty to make the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster heading into the 2008 season. Yes, the Steelers drafted quarterback Dennis Dixon in the fifth round of this year’s draft, but Dixon’s signing was certainly for the future. Batch, one of the better back-ups in the NFL, is 33, in the final year of his contract, and certainly wasn’t looked at as ...Jeff Reed’s Hair Acquitted Of All Charges

After four years in Pittsburgh, Roye spent eight with the Browns. He appeared in 13 games in 2007, starting nine of them. It’s a one-year deal, most likely for the veteran minimum. Though [...]
