Change is coming for the Pittsburgh Steelers, that much is sure.
From the retirement of 18-year quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, to the expected loss of a handful of free agents this offseason, the roster will look much different in the Steel City in 2022. Things will also look much different in the front office as well, considering long-time General Manager Kevin Colbert is expected to retire following the 2022 NFL Draft, putting the hiring of the next GM in Pittsburgh in the crosshairs.
Whoever lands the job after Colbert — be it internal candidates in Omar Khan and Brandon Hunt, or external candidates in ESPN’s Louis Riddick, Green Bay’s John Wojciechowski, Los Angeles’ Chargers’ JoJo Wooden, Tennessee’s Ryan Cowden or Indianapolis’s Ed Dodds and Morocco Brown — will have a tall task in front of them from the word go, at least according to Bleacher Report’s Joe Tansey.
