John Clayton is reporting on his Insider blog that the Steelers gave Andy Lee a 6 year, $7.1 million offer sheet.  There are apparently no poison pills in the deal and it will come down to how the team values Lee as a punter.  Personally, I think he's been a great punter and might very well be worth it.  I believe there was actually a game where Nolan gave him the game ball and a loss where was the team MVP of the game.  Thoughts?

[EDITOR'S NOTE 2:25PM] - Matt Maiocco has definitive salary numbers for Banta-Cain. Banta-Cain will get a $2.9M signing bonus, with a $500,000 roster bonus and a $100,000 workout bonus this year. The deal is worth $9M over 3 years, but could reach $12.25M if he reaches some sack incentives.
