SANTURDIO DEAL IS DONE

A league source tells us that the Steelers and first-round receiver Santurdio have reached an agreement on a contract, and that the team and his agent, Joel Segal, are waiting to announce the deal. 

Word is that the announcement is coming on Friday.

We're told that, while the 25th overall pick wanted to get something finished in order to begin the process of getting back in the team's good graces following two arrests in three weeks (and a pulled hamstring about which the "real" media never reported), agent Joel Segal didn't want to create the impression that they rushed to do the deal.

So initially Segal dragged his feet toward finalizing the terms.  But with Segal now having to turn his attention to a client drafted a few spots higher than Santurdio (i.e., Reggie Bush), Segal needed to put Santurdio's contract to bed.

Meanwhile, we're hearing that some members of the Pittsburgh media have been citing our recent story that a deal between the Steelers and Santurdio is close -- and then saying in the next breath that we're not very reliable.

Mr. Santurdio better hope he doesn't bomb or get the dropsies . . .

Frenchy...you're the man, you know I dig you. But Santurdio wasn't funny when Florio typed it the first time, it's less funny regurgitated.

Good point, I'll make the change.

Steelers should get a nice discount with Holmes trangressions the last few months.
