    Steelers Pro Bowl linebacker LaMarr Woodley has agreed to a six-year, $61.5 million contract thought to be the second-highest deal in team history behind only Ben Roethlisberger, a source familiar with the agreement told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Friday morning.

    Woodley's deal will pay $18.1 million in the first year and $27 million over the first two, the source said.

    Woodley, who has 39 career sacks in four seasons, had been designated with the franchise tag by the Steelers.

    He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2009, when he had a career-high 13½ sacks with 62 tackles, 50 of them which were solo. He had 10 sacks with 50 tackles last season.
