Thought he played well , good that he is going to hang around awhile. He had one year left on his contract , and they added two more…

So they do add years before contracts expire now?

Food for thought on those that said tj Watt couldn't have been extended before.

Elliott earned that new contract, good signing

Smart move and a fair deal

They have always added years to contracts. Not sure who thinks they never do.

One less worry now. Elliot is a solid lock up for the duration of new contract.

Thanks for the find and post slash, appreciate yaz.!



Salute the nation

Good thing Watt has one year left on his contract also. There is still time.

Yeap and that clock is ticking

Makes sense! Good signing!

 

[SteelerFan448]

Good contract extension at a good price. Elliott was one of the best tacklers in the league last year.

He will sign right before the end of camp. Then win DPoY again.

I think for a large portion of the year......name four other guys who were better on defense.

 

[WindyCitySteel]

Good strong safety, tackles well and is strong vs. the run.

If we change up our D I guess it could happen. If we run the status quo defense out there......highly doubtful.

Hell, we just need to get some leads, and he wins going away. I think they have made the personnel changes needed if they work out. The philosophy sounds like it will be a bit different as well when they interviewed Austin. I think the Ravens losses lit a fire in him.
