Three more candidates interviewed for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ general manager position, the team announced Saturday night.

Over the past week, the Steelers conducted interviews with Andy Weidl, vice president of player personnel with the Philadelphia Eagles; Ran Carthon, director of personnel with the San Francisco 49ers; and Joe Hortiz, director of player personnel for the Baltimore Ravens.

The Steelers have interviewed 12 candidates for the position that will be vacated by general manager Kevin Colbert when his contract expires in May after the NFL Draft. That includes in-house candidates Omar Khan and Brandon Hunt.

Colbert said the Steelers would like to conclude the first round of interviews by March 1 when teams can deny permission for candidates under contract to meet with other teams.

Weidl began his scouting career with the Steelers in 1998-99 when he worked as a player personnel assistant under former general manager Tom Donahoe. He worked as a scout with the New Orleans Saints and Ravens before joining the Eagles in 2016. He was promoted to director of player personnel in 2018 and added a vice president title the following year.

Carthon has spent six seasons with the 49ers after serving as the director of pro personnel with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams. He also spent four years as a pro scout with the Atlanta Falcons.

Hortiz has worked for the Ravens for 24 years and interviewed for the New York Giants general manager position last month.
