Are you currently thinking that the Pittsburgh Steelers might dip back into free agency with the draft now behind them and the annual compensatory pick period ending on Tuesday? If you have been excited the last few days by blog post from those who don’t follow the Steelers closely, in which the writers list several free agents the team should go after, you might now want to temper your expectations quite a bit. In fact, you should perhaps temper them a lot.
Since Kevin Colbert became the team’s general manager in 2000, the Steelers have a long history of not being very active when it comes to signing unrestricted free agents after the draft and prior to the start of the training camp.
