The Facts:
The Steelers and Roethlisberger's agent have had early talks about a contract extension for the young quarterback. While it appears nothing will be done this season, the machinery is gearing up for what should be the largest contract in the organization's history.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Roethlisberger's rookie contract was done with the intent on both sides that it would be renegotiated after the 2008 season. That process has apparently begun. ... It's worth noting that Roethlisberger will enter his fourth NFL season among the lowest-paid starting quarterbacks with a salary of $1 million. That's less than backup Charlie Batch, who will make $1,355,000.
