After no contract disscussions being established by the Steelers on Tuesday, which caught Colon’s camp by surprise, discussions finally began this morning and were said to be “fluid” as of late Wednesday morning, a league source told Inside Pittsburgh Sports.

The Steelers though have serious company for Colon’s services.

The Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, and Atlanta Falcons are among a handful of teams to express interest in Colon today.

According to a source directly involved in the talks, Colon is down to three teams, including the Steelers. The source would not confirm if the Bills, Seahawks or Falcons are two of the three teams. The Seahawks just signed Oaklands Robert Gallery.
