While current Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert has had his fair share of solid free agent signings since taking over the job in 2000, he’s also had a few that didn’t turn out so well. With four weeks now remaining until the team reports to Latrobe for training camp, I thought I would resume a series that I ran last year at around this same time of the offseason that includes looks back at a few of the players Colbert signed via free agency and specifically, the details of those contracts.
In February of 2000 the Steelers hired Colbert and he immediately got busy signing outside free agents.
