It did not take long.
Less than 24 hours after NFL teams could begin negotiating with players, the Steelers announced that they had agreed to terms with Ike Taylor, who cannot formally sign his contract until after 6:00 pm on Friday the 29th.
Financial terms of the deal were not announced, but length of the contract was reported at 4 years, reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
With Taylor under contract, the Steelers will focus their attention on their next free agent priority, offensive tackle Willie Colon.
