The Pittsburgh Steelers and linebacker Vince Williams agreed to a new four-year contract, the team announced Thursday.
No financial terms of the deal were made available.
"I feel like the Rooney family gave me an opportunity to play professional football," Williams said. "It's a great culture here. A great fan base. I take pride in being in Pittsburgh. It's a hard-nosed group of individuals who work here. I feel like the people here are no nonsense, hard-working individuals. They are proud people too. I love this place.
"There have been so many great players that have played for the Steelers, so many great linebackers.
