According to Ken Rosenthal on Twitter:

C David Ross agrees to 2-year extension with Braves through 2012.

Love, love, love it! I think he's a great guy to have around the clubhouse (very Eddie Perez like) and is productive when B-Mac needs a day off.

Good. I like Ross, he's a good backup for McCann. Also has helped McCann improve throwing out base stealers.

Very wise decision!

Any guessing what the contract is worth? I say $8 million.

Luckily, you were high. It's for $3.25 million. $1.625m in 2011 and $1.625m in 2012. Bargain!
