PITTSBURGH (AP) ? The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed linebacker LaMarr Woodley to a six-year, $61.5 million contract that runs through the 2016 season.
The deal was announced by the Steelers on Friday.

Earlier Friday, Woodley posted the news on Twitter, saying "Wanted u 2 hear it here 1st-drafted here... super bowl here.. will retire here!!"
