Could the Pittsburgh Steelers make a trade this summer? History says yes. Kevin Colbert is among the most active GMs in the league this time of year.
Should one happen, don’t expect to hear about it for a few more weeks.
Colbert has made ten trades since 2015. And most of them have come near the very end of the preseason process. The dates for each one he’s made over that span.
