This week’s report the Pittsburgh Steelers showed interest in EDGE Ryan Kerrigan, who ultimately signed with the Eagles, was notable for two reasons. One, it proved there was some level of desire to sign a defensive player over the age of 30, something Kevin Colbert basically never does. Two, it showed some recognition they need to add more depth at EDGE rusher.
Now, we don’t know exactly what level of interest they had in Kerrigan. At best, they offered him a minimum-level deal and proceeded to get a dial tone on the other end (this phone call takes place in 1998).
