Eagles executive believed to be “front-runner” for Steelers general manager opening

Eagles vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl might not be staying in Philadelphia much longer.

Weidl is believed to be the “front-runner” to replace Kevin Colbert as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ general manager. At least, that’s what longtime Steelers beat writer Gerry Dulac recently indicated during a chat on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Dave: Gerry, I read of Andy Weidl’s 24 years experience in the NFL and think he would be a good replacement for Kevin Colbert.

Gerry Dulac: I’d be willing to bet he is the front-runner for the position, as of right now.
