According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper could be considering current Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert as part of his rebuild of the Panthers.
Tepper was a former minority owner of the Steelers and knows Colbert well. According to Schefter, Tepper could also be looking to poach vice president of football and business administration Omar Khan. If fans don’t know who Khan is, he’s the salary cap genius who keeps this team competitive from a financial standpoint.
You hate to get all conspiracy theory but Colbert chose not to work on a new contract this offseason and is working this year without any ties to the Steelers for the next season. This could be something Colbert has been pondering and this was why he chose not to get a new contract.
The Steelers have been through tremendous roster turnover in the past year. But if they lost Colbert and Khan, it could really reset the team in terms of development.
