Steelers extend Leftwich's contract
Steelers extend Leftwich's contract
Wednesday, April 21, 2010 By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette One day after acquiring quarterback Byron Leftwich in a trade, the Steelers extended his contract. Leftwich had one year left on the contract he signed last year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Steelers today added one more year to the deal that now extends through the 2011 season. Tampa Bay, which signed Leftwich as an unrestricted free agent from the Steelers last year, traded him back to the Steelers for their seventh-round draft choice. The Steelers still have a seventh-round pick as a compensatory choice, one of 10 picks they will have in the three-day draft that begins Thursday. Leftwich arrived at the Steelers facility this morning, went through a physical and signed his contract. He, Charlie Batch and Dennis Dixon will be in the mix to replace starter Ben Roethlisberger, expected to be suspended today by the NFL to begin the 2010 season.

Re: Steelers extend Leftwich's contract
This is a VERY interesting development. I don't know if this assures that Ben will be traded, but it certainly lends a lot of weight to that theory. Then again, they might have realized that Batch - for as great of a mentor and team player that he is - he's not really adding all that much in terms of depth at the QB position.
So maybe they would've offered Leftwich an extension regardless - hard to say.

Re: Steelers extend Leftwich's contract
Yeah... I kind of think this has more to do with Batch than with Ben to be honest. But, who knows. Only time will tell.

Let's see, we got Batch and Lefty both on 2 year deals. Dixon is the youngster developing. Oh yeah, we got our stop-gaps for now until the kid is ready.....

Hopefully it just means Batch is going to be shown the door after Week 6.
