    Kevin Colbert Extended For Another Year

    Good news, glad he'll be around for another year at least.

    https://www.steelers.com/news/colbert-signs-contract-extension


    The Steelers answered one of their biggest offseason questions today when Vice President and General Manager Kevin Colbert signed a one-year contract extension.

    Colbert's extension keeps him with the team through at least the 2021 NFL Draft.

    "I am happy to announce we have extended Kevin Colbert's contract for an additional year," said Steelers President Art Rooney II. "Kevin continues to play a key role in our success and his dedication to our personnel efforts is unparalleled. We are pleased he will lead those efforts for at least one more year."

    Colbert, who is entering his 21st year with the team, joined the Steelers in February 2000 as the director of football operations, a role he had for his first 11 years with the team, and he is in his 10th year as the team's general manager.

    Again, this was never a story, despite what the media would have us believe. He said very simply that he's on a year to year contract since he's at a certain age.

    Maybe - but since there are no amortized signing bonuses to repay on a multi year contract for front office personnel he could have always signed a multi year deal that locked him in to the Steelers and then retired midway through the contract

    Given how Panthers owner David Tepper is a former Steelers minority owner and has hired other Steelers front office folks IMO Colbert might have walked if Tepper had thrown mega $$$ at Colbert rather than decide his organization will be like franchises that vest more power in the head coach than the Steelers have post-Noll

    Glad to read Colbert has reupped

    Glad to have him back for another year. His son is a scout in training for the Steelers.

    He should start asking for points or company shares.
