Ben will be entering his final, and at 31 wants a extension that assures he retires a Steeler so a 5 or a 6 year.say he takes a hometown discount, with a guy like romo getting 7 120 mill 25 SBhttp://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/4/1/4170568/tony-romo-contract-details-dallas-cowboys
assuming he accepts in the 17-18 mill which for a qb with his resume is a discount we are likely looking at
if 5 years 88 mill 25 mill SB
if 6 years 105 mill 25 SB
now then they have to lock up heyward who if he plays like he did after replacing ziggy will command a deal like 6 48 mill 12 SB a deal that will likely be very similar to what we just gave pouncey and then you have
Cortez who will likely look for at least 5.5 mill avg so we can assume something like 5 years 28 mill 6 m SB as our best offer and with these above numbers if Worlids has a 10 or sack year he will hold the leverage vs what ever was our best long term extension, then it is either let him walk and the following year get picks or tag him again.
From our perspective if Spence makes the team and even pushes for the starting job than we can hope he is the long term plug in next to LT and play Shazier at ROLB and flip Jarvis to LOLB where he will face slower OT's and let Shazier with his 4,4 speed face the LT and JJ and his sub 4.7 or whatever he may now run with all the hype that has built that he has a had a great off season training, hopefully his training reduces his pro day 4.8 to at least 4.7 or the mid 4.6.
