The Steelers must have their first round of interviews with potential GM candidates completed for those under contract with another team before March 1. After that, they can't speak to those under contract with another team until after the draft in April.
Saturday, they announced they had completed three more interviews with outside candidates, adding Ravens director of player personnel Joe Hortiz, 49ers director of player personnel Ran Carthon and Eagles vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl to their lengthy list of those interviewed.
That brings the total candidates the team has spoken with to 12 with another pending.
