Keeping together the best linebacker tandem in the NFL was an offseason priority for the Steelers. They did it! LaMarr signed the richest deal in the history of the Steelers defense and he is now the second highest paid player in Steelers history.
He got a “chunk of change” up front in the form of 22.5 million. This was a great deal for everyone involved. LaMarr has been a flat out superstar and with Silverback they are the best tandem in the league. The linebackers have been the lifeblood of the Steelers defense and this signifies the Steelers confirmation of that.
