Aaron Smith seals extension to lock Steelers defense
Aaron Smith signed a five year 25 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, keeping the top defense intact as camp opens in Latrobe. The 6 six foot five 300 pound end has 13 sacks over three seasons, and the move mirrors deals for Porter Gildon and Scott, with Flowers still unsigned. Meanwhile Kerry Collins extended with the Giants through 2004, yielding 15.4 million over three seasons and freeing cap room to re-sign Jason Garrett. Denver pursues Ashley Lelie Clinton Portis while negotiating with kicker Jason Elam under franchise tender rules.
