Pittsburg Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert has vowed to make changes to their roster after the team finished a disappointing 8-8 this past season. The changes could include, but is not limited to, veterans and high profile free agents, according to the Pittsburg Post-Gazette.
“When you’re 12-4 and a playoff team, sometimes you get mesmerized by your success and you get a little reluctant to change,” Colbert said, referring to the Steelers’ record in both 2010 and 2011.
“If we don’t change a roster that produced 8-8, we’d be silly to expect a better result.”
Colbert and the Steelers’ front office are working steadily to meet the NFL’s March 12 deadline to get into compliance with the leagues salary cap, which is estimated to be around $121 million. The team is currently $10 million over the cap, but it appears no free agent is promised to return next season.
“We won’t know what an individual player will cost until he gets out there,” Colbert said. “Going into this thing, we’re not married to anybody.”
