Joe Linta, the agent for right tackle Willie Colon, said he doesn't believe his client will ever secure a long-term contract with the Steelers. Colon, a restricted free agent who signed a $2.5 million tender for this season, is destined to play for another NFL team in another year or two, according to Linta. The Steelers have two more days of offseason practices this week before breaking until the opening of training camp July 30. "Willie obviously loves Pittsburgh. He would love staying there for the long-term. But as of right now, they have not made any decisions that they want him there long-term," Linta said. A fourth-round draft pick in 2006, Colon has emerged as the Steelers' most dependable offensive lineman. He is the only blocker to start every game under coach Mike Tomlin — 54 consecutive starts, including the playoffs. Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
thats because even though hes a top 5-7 RT (imo) ramon foster is almost an identical player. Better fit for guard, but a great drive blocking RT who will struggle with speed **********Automerged Doublepost********** also i think they are in love with jonathan scott, who might be an even better option at RT down the line. urbiks name never comes up though, funny how that works lol
