The Steelers delayed their offseason by one month and now the NFL owners are working on extending it. As Hines Ward said this past week, there is a lot of uncertainty, and as Kevin Colbert said a week earlier, there is so much uncertainty that they had not even talked about whether they will sign any of their potential free agents before March 4.

So, what will the Steelers do and what do they need to do?

The answers are not much and not much.

Teams were allowed to begin putting franchise tags on players Thursday, and no one should be surprised that the Steelers have not done so. They can sign their own players only through March 3, either to new contracts or contract extensions. No one should be surprised if they sign no one.

The so-called Steelers Way does not resemble a two-minute offense; it carries a heavy dose of patience, and they won't discard that merely because a lockout looms. If anything, the lockout could promote even more patience..............
