The Pittsburgh Steelers have retained the rights to QB Dennis Dixon. A league source tells Inside Pittsburgh Sports.com that Dixon has received an "existing round tender" from the Steelers.
The 3rd year pro is scheduled to be a restricted free agent this off-season.
The Steelers currently have Ben Roethlisberger, Byron Leftwich and Charlie Batch under contract at the quarterback position for next season.
