[QB Eagles]

After botching the trade for Shaun Rogers, the Bengals acquire DT Dewayne Robertson from the Jets for 4th and 5th round picks. The Jets seem to be making a lot of moves.

BEN BREAKS THE BANK

A source with knowledge of the new contract to be signed by Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger tells us that Roethlisberger will receive a practical guarantee of $38.7 million.

Ho.  Lee.  Crap.

It's a staggering amount of any team to pay in guaranteed money, and it's almost incomprehensible that the Steelers would do it.

Technically, the guaranteed money is in the range of $36 million.  But it's arguably fair to include the first-year salary and a non-guaranteed roster bonus due at the outset of the 2009 league year, especially since portions of the second-year and third-year base salaries are guaranteed.

The deal is a six-year extension of the two years remaining on Roethlisberger's rookie deal.  He is now under contract through 2015.

MOSS DEAL DONE

A league source tells us that the Patriots and receiver Randy Moss have agreed to a new contract.  Per the source, the deal is for three years, $27 million.

The contract hasn't been signed, and the language is being finalized.

It's unknown how much of the deal is guaranteed, signing bonus, etc.

Moss's deal is almost exactly what TO got from Dallas a couple of years ago.

[Magical_Retard]

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Rams running back Steven Jackson is on the move to the Cowboys.

Sources close to the deal say with ownership in limbo, unloading Jackson would help send the team into full rebuild mode. The star back is due a new contract and the organization doesn't see itself giving him the deserved payday. Owner Jerry Jones, who is no stranger to making the big splash, would love to get his hands on a combination back of Jackson's caliber. We hear Dallas has offered their 22nd pick and 92nd pick, along with a player to be named. Mar. 3 - 2:30pm

Jackson is not that significant an upgrade to Barber III.
