Steelers FO made a really good deal, especially with the money Haynesworth got, you would have thought Harrison would want in this ballpark.

Like I said - Steelers FO came out on top.

The Steelers might have made a great deal, but I think that the deal is closer to fair for both sides. Harrison cashes in with a good chunk guaranteed, while the Steelers pay somewhat reasonable money for a great linebacker. Don't forget that Harrison will be 36 at the end of the deal and thus unlikely to be worth Haynesworth-type money at the end of the deal. 36 year old linebackers tend to not move as well, some recent Pats examples aside. (And of course Seau)

I like the deal. It solidifies the guy as our starter for a few years and we can focus on drafting some Dline now without having to worry about the LBs for a while.
