Chris Hoke is all yours Pittsburgh Steelers.
In the first of what will be many "veteran" re-ups on the horizon, the Steelers retained DT Chris Hoke this afternoon.
The financials:
Under the extension, Hoke will get a four-year, $6 million contract that includes a $1.5 million signing bonus. He was scheduled to make $900,000 this season, the final year of his contract. Now, he will make $2.1 million this year including the signing bonus.Which leads me to believe Hoke will start to see a lot more action in some of Tomlin's specialized roles/defenses.
Course, Hoke's gotta be happy because at 31 he's making a butt load more money than he ever did at 25.
On a completely separate note, doesn't he kind of look like Vader from 1990's wrestling (see below)??
