So many fans don’t give Kevin Colbert and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ front office credit when it comes to their activity in free agency. No, they aren’t big spenders, but they are continually successful with their approach.
It is rather simple, when you think about it:
- Sit out the first wave of free agency, ensuring you won’t overspend on any particular player.
- Have a good group of players in mind you want to sign.
- When the initial wave calms, pull the trigger on team-friendly deals to fill holes on the roster.
