On Monday, defensive end Brett Keisel became the eighth player to reach a new deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers since they won the Super Bowl in February, signing a five-year contract with the team.
The contract will keep Keisel with the Steelers through 2013, and the details of the contract terms were not available yet. He was believed to have made $3.25 million this season, which is the final year of his old contract. The Steelers’ seventh-round draft pick in 2002 has been considered to be a key to what statistically was the NFL's top defense the last two seasons, although he does not accumulate a lot of sacks in the Steelers' 3-4 system.
As the Steelers have a policy of not negotiating during the regular season, there will be not ninth player to sign new contract before the season opener against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 10.
