Other than getting a deal done with Ben (and you know they will) our free agents after this season look very tame.

Most years, we have much more significant players as FA, and we all know we never sign them all. They will get a deal with Ben done. That's a no brainer. Another other than him?
Ike - Age says this is his last year with Pgh. Not a surprise.
Suisham - no sweat either way.
Allen - need to sign him, likely will get a deal done.
Gilbert - why worry about re-signing one of the worst OTs in the NFL.
Spaeth - mostly worthless.
Carter - won't even be on the roster.
Worilds - all depends on how his season goes. If he nabs 10+ sacks, may want to try to re-sign him; If he is being unreasonable, let him walk.
Regardless, that is one of the most tame list of upcoming FAs I have ever seen for this team. no doubt, will have to add a CB and OLB in FA and/or draft, but that's not so bad.

Traditionally, the Steelers would have extended the contract of Ben Roethlisberger by now or been close to a new deal. Like many other things this year, the tradition of signing their starting quarterback to an extension two years before his contract expires has been cast aside. It appears any extension to Roethlisberger's contract, which has two years to run, will not happen until 2015 at the earliest.
Others entering the final seasons of their contracts include cornerback Ike Taylor, kicker Shaun Suisham, cornerback Cortez Allen, tackle Marcus Gilbert, tight end Matt Spaeth, linebacker Chris Carter and a host of others. Long-snapper Greg Warren, one of only five players left on the roster with two Steelers Super Bowl rings, signed a one-year deal this year to return for his 10th season in Pittsburgh.
