General manager Kevin Colbert told Trib Total Media on Thursday that there has been no change in a long-standing organizational policy to re-work a non-quarterback contract with more than a year left.
“It was something that was here before I got here and I am sure it will continue after I am gone,” Colbert said. “It is just the consistency within the organization. It is something that we believe in and it works for us, so I don't see it changing.”
Word leaked before the Steelers played in Jacksonville last week that Rosenhaus was meeting with the team to discuss a new deal for Brown. It turned out to be just a courtesy meeting on the Steelers' part.
“Players sign contracts, we expect them to honor them,” Colbert said. “If a player has one year to go other than a quarterback is when we have gotten into discussions. It has been the position of the organization and it has always been like that.”
