The contract linebacker Greg Lloyd signed Friday with the Pittsburgh Steelers is worth $11.2 million, Lloyd's agent Dick Bell said. The three-year contract, which goes into effect next season, will make Lloyd the Steelers' highest-paid player. Lloyd, 31, will get a reported $3.7 million annually, making him the second highest-paid linebacker in the NFL. Junior Seau of the San Diego Chargers currently makes $4 million a year.
