The Steelers are currently negotiating a salary raise and contract extension for linebacker James Harrison, according to Harrison's agent, Bill Parise, with both sides having discussions as often as twice a day. "It's been a very open process, and it's going about the way you would expect," Parise said. "So I think everything is moving along." Harrison was one of the league's biggest bargains in 2008 with an annual salary of $1.2 million for the year. Harrison tallyied 101 tackles, 16 sacks, seven forced fumbles and was also named the NFL's defensive player of the year. Parise said he's very confident that both sides will reach a contract agreement this offseason.
