Heath Miller, former #1 draft choice of the Pittsburgh Stillers from the U. of Virginia, signed a 6 year contract extension that makes him the third highest paid Tight End in the NFL. But what it really does is give our front office lots of room to work next year and locks up one of the best TEs the Stillers have ever had.As Hines Ward ages, Heath Miller will become more important in the Stiller offense as a possession and red-zone receiver. I do not believe Heath has reached his full potential as a player. But that is mainly due to some nagging injuries and how he is utilized within the context of the overall offensive scheme. I expect that to change starting Friday... that is if my buddy, Mr. Arians, is listening.
Next up at the bargaining table are Ryan Clark, Bret Keisel and "Fat" Casey Hampton. These three are the next starters whose contracts will be up at the end of next season. And we all know the Stillers don't discuss contracts once the regular season begins.
Camp opens tomorrow and contractually, we've done as much as possible to be ready for the season. HERE WE GO!!!!!!!

Thank goodness they signed him - he is one of my favorites.
Besides since the Pirates are getting rid of EVERYONE on the roster with just a bit of talent it is nice to see the Steelers to the right thing.
Plus, he is waaaaay better looking than Benny.
"he is waaaaay better looking than Benny."
Well, he hasn't kissed any Chryslers at 30mph yet either.
And, sadly for you, his TV set seems to be in working order.
