The Pittsburgh Steelers are an organization that prides themselves on loyalty, and that could be on full display once again soon as there is still a chance that the team could bring back fan favorites James Harrison and Brett Keisel.

According to a report from Scott Brown at ESPN, the team has not ruled out bringing back the two. When asked specifically about Keisel on Monday, GM Kevin Colbert said that everyone at this point is fair game.

"General manager Kevin Colbert declined to talk about specific players Monday morning when asked if Keisel is on the Steelers’ radar. But Colbert said, “We haven’t eliminated anybody from consideration because we don’t know what’s going to happen before the season. Even into the season there’s been times when we’ve brought back veteran players due to injury. If we have eliminated a player we always tell [him] don’t keep us in your thought process, if you have an opportunity don’t wait for us, something along those lines.”"

At this point, the Steelers have been expected to bring back Keisel before the season starts. He’s keeping himself in shape, and at this point in his career, could get by with skipping training camp.

Harrison, after making a name for himself with the Steelers, spent last season with the Cincinnati Bengals. However, this offseason he has not made it a secret that he would like to return to Pittsburgh as his career is winding down.
