The 10-years vet has earned his place in the rotation in Pittsburgh since joining the two two season ago. A quality backup, Tyson Alualu has been used to play nose tackle and defensive end for the Steelers. On Friday, the former first-round pick was inked for two more seasons.
While this is good news for Alualu, it could be two defensive line veterans are on their way out of Pittsburgh. Daniel McCullers signed a one-year deal last offseason, trying to revamp his career before it was too late. He played well in 16 games and some believed the team would bring him back for another contract.
