Art Rooney II's announcement that Kevin Colbert will retire following the 2022 NFL Draft and a replacement likely won't be named until after the draft has many Steelers fans wondering why the team would wait?
After all, wouldn't they want the new GM to have a hand in free agency and the draft this year?
But that assumes the Steelers work the same way other teams do when it comes to acquiring talent.
Colbert was hired in 2000 after serving for a decade as the pro scouting coordinator of the Lions to replace Tom Donahoe as the Steelers director of football operations.
