Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers have had a very aggressive offseason, something unusual in the teamās recent history. The man behind that approach: Omar Khan. The franchise is in win-now mode, signing star names like Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, and Jalen Ramsey.
However, many fans in Pittsburgh are not happy about mortgaging the 2025 season on a 40-year-old quarterback and letting go of a star wide receiver like George Pickens.
Critics have pointed out that Omar Khan is chasing a Super Bowl next season without having the roster to do it, and that he should actually be focusing all his efforts on drafting a game-changing rookie like Arch Manning or Drew Allar in 2026.
Who did the Steelers just sign?
The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed Omar Khan as their general manager for the near future, rewarding him with a three-year contract extension. Team owner Art Rooney II has no doubts that this is the right path forward.
āI am excited to announce we have signed Omar to a new three-year contract. Omar and his team have done a great job over the past three years in constructing our roster through the NFL Draft, strategic trades, and free agency. We look forward to continuing that trend that will lead to even more success on the field.ā

In this new chapter granted by Pittsburgh, Khan has a lot on the line. His big gamble, Aaron Rodgers, must deliver at least one playoff win and, in the process, the team also needs to be in prime position to draft Ben Roethlisbergerās successor. A massive challenge that, if it fails, could have enormous consequences.
Khan isnāt afraid of whatās coming. āI believe we are building a championship roster and look forward to the 2025 season and beyond as our goals continue to be to bring another Super Bowl to the City of Pittsburgh and our great fans.ā
