The Pittsburgh Steelers have long adhered to a policy that they won’t negotiate contract extensions with players once the season starts, only negotiating before Week 1 and whenever the season ends. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio talked about his distaste for the policy on The PM Team on 93.7 The Fan earlier today.
“What a stupid policy, too. For all the things the Steelers do right, and I love the Steelers organization, I’ve been in and around Pittsburgh my whole life. I feel like I understand that team more than any other. I don’t understand this rule,” Florio said.
