Good move: Steelers announced that Director of Football Operations Kevin Colbert has signed a five-year contract extension with the team.

Nice move. Colbert has been so good in the 1st round. Now, let's start hitting in rounds 3-4-5 on a more consistent basis.

Re: Colbert Extended

Nice! Well deserved. The Tomlin and Colbert extensions are undoubtedly the silver lining on this dark cloud of an off-season (I'm so glad that it is coming to an end in 2 days when players officially report to Latrobe!).

Re: Colbert Extended

Don't the Rooney's know that they can make a better hire for this job if they just get one of the "experts" on personnel and talent assessment from this board

I love it!!!! Tomlin and Colbert both extended and the "haters" heading to the bridges to take a leap.

Promoting Omar Khan and keeping him happy is also great news. He's done a fantastic job as the Steelers chief contract negotiator and doens't get enough credit.

They promoted Khan too? Hadn't heard that part. That's great news as well! I remember another team talking to him during the offseason, so I was worried he might be hired away from us.
