The Pittsburgh Steelers locked up quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for the next eight years by agreeing to $102 million contract, with over $36 million in guaranteed money.  The deal makes Big Ben the highest-paid player in Steelers history and comes on the heels of the loss of left guard Alan Faneca, who after 10 years in Pittsburgh was to sign a $40 million contract today with the New York Jets.

Big Ben, who led Pittsburgh to a Super Bowl title as a rookie, becomes the sixth quarterback to receive a $100 million contract. Roethlisberger threw for a career-high 32 TD's in 2007 in his first year under new head coach Mike Tomlin after throwing just 17, 17, and 18 in his three years under head coach Bill Cowher.

The Steelers also reached a deal with free-agent running back Mewelde Moore on Monday. The Steelers inked him to a three-year deal on Monday. He will likely compete for time as the third-down running back and possibly get into the mix for kick returns.
