ESPN.com news services
The Pittsburgh Steelers and safety Troy Polamalu agreed to terms on a new four-year contract Saturday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
According to the source, the contract will keep Polamalu in Pittsburgh through 2014.
AFC North blog
Walker ESPN.com's James Walker writes about all things AFC North in his division blog.
• Blog network: NFL Nation
Further terms were unavailable.
The six-time Pro Bowler took to Twitter on Saturday afternoon, writing "I am happy to say that I will retire a Pittsburgh Steeler!"
The 30-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, finishing with seven interceptions, 64 combined tackles and a sack. Yet he was slowed by an Achilles injury late in the season and admits he wasn't 100 percent during the playoffs or the 31-25 loss to Green Bay in the Super Bowl.
Polamalu, the 2010 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, was in the final season of a five-year deal that would have paid him about $6.4 million this season. He has spent his entire career in Pittsburgh after being drafted 16th overall out of USC in 2003.
The Steelers have already signed linebackers Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley to lengthy extensions this summer.

Ike Taylor.
Willie Colon.

Lawrence Timmons.
Troy Polamalu.
Kevin Colbert and Omar Khan head the Brain Fart Trust and the Rooneys are cheap!!!
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

Re: Steelers sign Troy
If that is the deal then Troy has proven he wants to be a Steeler versus a mercenary. I'd be interested to hear the guaranteed money because that is all that really counts.Originally posted by RuthlessBurgherOriginally posted by plainnasty"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"Comment

Re: Steelers sign Troy
Want to talk about a bargain? The guaranteed money on Adrian Peterson's new 7 year, $100 million is the same as the total value of Troy's new 4 year contract.Originally posted by OviedoIf that is the deal then Troy has proven he wants to be a Steeler versus a mercenary.

Re: Steelers sign Troy
Like was said, we don't know if those numbers are true. But if they are, it is hardly a discounted deal. I mean 4 years at almost 37 million ? Weddle's new deal was 5 years for 40 million, and Ed Reed;s deal was for 6 years at 44 million. That makes Troy's average per year deal well over those two players. So it's not like Troy gave us a Home Town discount here.Comment
