Steelers, Harrison agree to 2-year deal reportedly worth $3.5M

The Pittsburgh Steelers and linebacker James Harrison have reached an agreement that will keep Harrison with the team until he turns 40.

The deal is worth $3.5 million over two years, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Harrison will turn 39 in May. His production at such an advanced age - at a position that requires extreme physicality - is unprecedented in today's NFL.

Harrison's five sacks led the Steelers in 2016, but surely the team can't plan on the veteran again leading the charge in 2017. Look for the Steelers to address their need at edge rusher in the draft, and potentially in free agency, too.
