Ryan Clark-DB-Steelers Jun. 26 - 10:13 am et

NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora reports that the Steelers and Ryan Clark have had contract extension discussions.
It sounds like a deal could get done before training camp. Clark was undrafted out of LSU, but plays far bigger than his size and has proven to be a perfect complement to Troy Polamalu. He's expected to be ready for camp after undergoing shoulder surgery this offseason.

I really hope this signing gets done. All I want for the rest of the offseason is Clark, Miller, and Reed to be resigned. Clark has been a great safety and keeping him next to Troy will give us a great safety duo for years to come.

I dont think they are going to worry about Miller unless there is another CBA in place. Otherwise he will be restricted free agent, so I think Miller in that regard is low on their priority list.

Clark is very underrated in our Defense and should be considered a key cog in making the scheme work. Many were worried when we lost Hope to the Titans, but Clark made us forget about Hope than even Hope would have hoped ...

Heath Miller will be resigned to a long term deal you can pretty much take that to the bank. As for Clark this is great news hearing that the Steelers want to extend him and keep him here it appears for many years. The Steelers front office like always doing the job on the guys that have one year left on their contracts already taking care of Hines Ward and in the process of signing Clark to a new deal that will keep him here for many years to come. And as I mentioned to start this post Miller will be signed longterm and isnt going anywhere...

Locking in Clark is big for us, if they can do that before camp and it sounds like they can we'll have an intact Secondary for years to come.

Clark deserves to be resigned.......He is the enforcer in the secondary for the Steelers defense.....

When Clark is healthy the D is noticeably better , especially Troy .. I wonder if in the LR Kennan Lewis moves to FS or if Mundy is better suited for that position/role as his backup , I guess there a lot of what-ifs in this case

Clark is definetly a true Steeler,,,,,,I love his aggresive nature and the way he brings the "NOISE"

It would be great to see Clark get an extension. I love his style of play, and he is definitely intimidating to any wide receiver, who comes across the middle.

I love Clark. When Hope left us and I saw we were going after Clark, I read somewhere about him, "He can hit as hard as Hope and play better coverage." Yeah I'd say that's true. Clark is a true Steeler
