Kevin Colbert should be remembered fondly. He was an excellent general manager and technically the first in Pittsburgh Steelers history, the title never used until mid-way through his Steelers’ career. His legacy, as someone asked me earlier this week, is the two Super Bowl trophies he put in the team’s case throughout his 22-year tenure.
Over a long career like that, you’re bound to make plenty of mistakes. If Omar Khan is fortunate enough to be in the GM chair for just as long, he’ll do the same. But Colbert’s biggest mistake was his last one. And Khan is left to hit the undo button on the 2022 offseason.
