Steelers Turn Their Focus On Retaining FS Ryan Clark

With two of their three priorities secured, the Steelers will try to lock up free safety Ryan Clark before he can become an unrestricted free agent one week from today. Clark, 30, often has said he wants to remain with the Steelers and continue to play with Pro Bowl strong safety Troy Polamalu, but Polamalu in a way could prevent that. Polamalu was the second-highest paid safety in the NFL last season and will count $8,295,000 against their salary cap in 2010 but Clark believes he belongs among the best safeties in the league and surely will want to be paid as such. "He's offering himself at hometown discount, so to speak," agent Joel Turner said. "We're not asking for more than most people would. Keep in mind, Ryan is the best free safety not only in unrestricted free agency but restricted free agency. He's the best free safety in the business, he does a marvelous job of quarterbacking the defense. This is not a situation where this is some average guy. Ryan is superior at his position."
