Continuing on with my look back at lucrative contracts signed by Pittsburgh Steelers over the course of the last 15 years, today I will recall for you the signing of center Sean Mahan back in 2007.
If we are to consider the 2002 signing of linebacker James Farrior by the Steelers as probably the best free agent move that general manager Kevin Colbert has made so far during his time in Pittsburgh, then the signing of Mahan in 2007 can probably be considered his worst.
After starting center Jeff Hartings decided to retire following the 2006 season due to knee issues, the team was left with veteran Chukky Okobi and second-year player Marvin Philip as available replacements.
