Following Colbert stepping down from GM with the Steelers, he remained in the organization working with the alumni association. While he talked about being a sounding board for new GM Omar Khan, it is unknown whether he had any input or insight into how things developed after his departure as GM.
Khan and assistant GM Andy Weidl are preparing for their third draft in their current roles, and Colbert will now be transitioning from the salary cap of the NFL to the wild west which is NIL, Name Image and Likeness, and transfer portal of big-time Division 1 football.
