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 re-signing of tackle Willie Colon back in 2011.
Do you remember the 2011 offseason? It was really awful as the 132-day NFL owner lockout really made it tough on not only the fans, but the players as well. Additionally, the shortened free agent signing period was pushed way back and teams had to decide very quickly as to whether or not they wanted to re-sign their own unrestricted free agents or let them test the market.
