But Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin didin’t speak to the media yesterday? That’s right, but general manager Kevin Colbert did. It was the first time Colbert spoke to the media since the beginging of training camp, and he spoke about some specific players. Much like Coach Tomlin, these players are not always ones Colbert brought up himself but are specifically players about whom he was asked questions.
It is a long-standing Steelers front office policy to not negotiate contracts with players during the season. Colbert was asked if they are still interested in signing Heyward before the season starts.
