Khan, who is well-known throughout NFL circles for being smart with the salary cap, also interviewed for several openings last offseason before sticking in Pittsburgh. And it should be noted that the Bears also reportedly requested to interview the Patriots’ Eliot Wolf on Wednesday.
Colbert has reportedly discussed retiring after the NFL draft this offseason, though sources have told the Post-Gazette that no decision is final.
