The Steelers have reportedly signed left tackle Max Starks to a $26.3 million, four-year contract. The deal is believed to include $10 million in guaranteed money, and Pittsburgh announced the deal on Tuesday. "We were very fortunate to have him," Steelers director of football operations Kevin Colbert said. "A transition on a backup probably didn't make a lot of sense, but we didn't feel like we would have been as good a team without him. We wanted to do a long-term deal [in 2008] but we couldn't get it done."
