Steelers break off talks with Cowher

The Pittsburgh Steelers made official what has seemed evident for weeks: coach Bill Cowher is no longer negotiating an extension to a contract that runs through 2007.

The team announced Tuesday that it has ceased talks with Cowher on signing an extension so he can focus on coaching the returning Super Bowl champions. The team has long had a policy of not negotiating contracts during a season, but wants to renew talks with Cowher once the season ends.
