Kevin Colbert Quotations

I think you pay attention to what everybody is doing this time of year. But you do pay more attention to your own division, for sure.

We're not going to sign everyone. We may have to move on without some of the players who helped us win a championship. That's the way the game is today.

I just hope that everybody sees the benefits on both sides to continue the success of this league.

You're always looking for ways to improve. And each team goes about things in a different way.

They'll never have a more captive audience than they'll have right here. That's what we tell them.

We're not in a situation where we have to tear it up. When you look at our team, we have a lot of guys under contract for a minimum of two years. We're kind of caught up right now.

When it's this late in the year, you want someone who knows what it's all about. We knew him and knew he'd give us a good look in practice.

We've never been a big free-agency team because we don't believe that's the way to put a team together, exclusively. We believe that the draft will always be the main part of your team, but we also believe that you'll have to plug in the occasional free agent. In recent years, we haven't gone after the high-end market (players) because we've concentrated on keeping our own players, who may have been higher-end guys if they became free agents.

I don't know if he's priced himself out. We don't know the interest level out there. Certainly we have an interest in keeping him, and we definitely want to keep him. I think any time you win a Super Bowl it enhances your value, sometimes artificially, too.

People say we haven't signed big free agents, but they lose sight of the fact that we signed significant players of our own.
