10:52 PM ET 03.17 | Speaking at the Arizona Biltmore Resort, site of the NFL owners meetings that begins Monday, Colbert also said the Steelers have not received any official notification that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has signed an offer sheet with the New England Patriots, despite national reports. A team source said the Steelers were told by Sanders' agent, Jordan Woy, that his client has not signed an offer sheet. If he does, the Steelers can match the offer for Sanders, who is a restricted free agent, or let him go and receive a third-round choice in this year's draft in return. The potential loss of Sanders, coupled with Wallace, would create a dire need at wide receiver. But Colbert said that will not force the Steelers to have any "needs" in the draft. "I don't like to use the word 'need,' " Colbert said. "We're not going to list one position or prioritize over another."

They might be mulling over a three quarterback backfield like the Jets. Word is it's the newest thing.

Yep, but they're only going to have three on the field at one time.

Since the Pats seem to like small receivers so much, I'm surprised they're not mulling over an offer sheet to Emmanuel Lewis.

Forunately, #1 is still in town and given how much time has passed # 2 may be as well. #3 Wallace is still gone to Miami though.

Before anyone jumps down my throat for my ranking of Steeler WRs, Wallace lost his starting job to Sanders at the end of last season in an effott to motivate Wallace (it didn't work).
