Contract negotiations between Casey Hampton and the Steelers will heat up in the next 7-10 days and word from Casey Hampton's camp is that Pittsburgh has no interest in offering a deal close to Hampton's market value.
Hampton's camp is in fact calling the Steelers bluff, about the Steelers all of a sudden acting like the 32 year old nose tackle is a priority.
Steelers front office executive Omar Khan and Eric Armstead, the agent for Casey Hampton, met during the early stages of the senior bowl last week. The two sides are expected to meet again next week following the Super Bowl.
A deal in the 3 year - $22.5 million range with $9.5 million in guarantees has been floated around league circles, but in speaking to a source close to Hampton this morning, that kind of deal won't be coming from Pittsburgh.
