3 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers are giving right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor a three-year, $29.25 million deal, which includes $20.5 million in the first two years, according to a source. Former Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings center Mason Cole intends to sign a three-year deal to join the Steelers as well. In defensive news, the Steelers placed a tender on restricted free-agent defensive back Marcus Allen. Okorafor has served as the team's starting right tackle for each of the last two seasons, and he will continue to be a big part of their offense moving forward. Cole, 25, will replace Kendrick Green, who was one of the worst centers in football last year. Both Okorafor and Cole will hopefully help the Steelers become more efficient running the football.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
