The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed center Maurkice Pouncey to a five-year extension that will keep the three-time Pro Bowler as the anchor of the offensive line for the rest of the decade. The new deal averages $8.8 million per season, making Pouncey the highest-paid center in the NFL. The 24-year-old Pouncey was entering the final year of the rookie contract he signed after the Steelers took him with the 18th overall selection in the 2010 draft. Pouncey had a season-ending right knee injury in the first game of the 2013 season against Tennessee.
