During a typical NFL offseason there are rumors which start and get legs. Rarely do people to the homework to see if these rumors are true, or even noteworthy, but they get plenty of attention.
This was the case when it was reported by multiple sources the Detroit Lions were actively trying to lure General Manager Kevin Colbert away from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
When these rumors picked up steam on social media, they were shot down by multiple sources. One of which was Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. As Dulac points out, the Lions never requested to speak with Colbert, something they would have to do with Colbert still under contract in Pittsburgh.
