Steelers Extend GM Omar Khan Through 2028 Season

The Pittsburgh Steelers have demonstrated strong confidence in General Manager Omar Khan by signing him to a three-year contract extension through the 2028 season. Khan, who assumed the GM role in 2022 after 25 years with the organization, has aggressively reshaped the roster with bold moves such as acquiring All-Pro players DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, and signing veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, aiming to push the team beyond recent early playoff exits. Under his leadership, the Steelers have reached the playoffs in consecutive years, though postseason success has remained elusive since 2016. Team president Art Rooney II praised Khan’s strategic approach in drafting, trades, and free agency, highlighting the franchise’s belief in his vision for building a championship roster. With the 2026 NFL Draft set to take place in Pittsburgh and the team holding 12 picks, Khan is positioned to further develop the roster. His extension, closely aligned with head coach Mike Tomlin’s contract, signals the Steelers' commitment to continuity and a long-term competitive strategy.
