New series I’ll briefly kick up over the next couple of weeks. I’m not going to go through an exhaustive list of Kevin Colbert’s free agent signings the way I did his draft picks earlier in the month. But I will hit on the notable best – and worst – deals Colbert made during free agency throughout his time as Pittsburgh Steelers’ GM.
We’ll start with one of the worst, center Sean Mahan, signed in 2007. We’ll alternate best/worst going forward.
Sean Mahan/OL/2007 – 5 years, $17 million
For the era and for Colbert, this was a big-money contract.
