Ranking Steelers best free agent signings under Colbert

Kevin Colbert and free agency: two things that have had a very interesting relationship in Steelers history. While Colbert has been essential in building three Super Bowl rosters, he has been a GM that prides himself on building through the draft.

While other teams enter free agency with their wallets open and hand out record-breaking contracts to anything that moves, the Steelers tend to find cheap, short-term options that can eventually be replaced by an inhouse talent later on.

That mentality has caused its fair share of misses (especially in recent years), but it has also led to some absolute gem signings.
