The Pittsburgh Steelers are securing their future by keeping the architect behind their aggressive transformation.
After a very busy offseason, the franchise announced a front office move to go along with all of its player acquisitions.
“We have signed GM Omar Khan to a new three-year contract that will keep him with the team through at least the 2028 season,” the Steelers wrote on X.

Khan became general manager in 2022, but his connection to Pittsburgh runs much deeper than his current position.
He joined the organization in 2001 and worked his way through various roles.
Now entering his fourth season as GM, he has transformed how Pittsburgh approaches roster construction.
The conservative, methodical approach that characterized much of the previous decade has disappeared under Khan’s leadership.
Instead, the Steelers have embraced bold moves that reflect an organizational philosophy focused on immediate championship contention.
This offseason demonstrates Khan’s willingness to make splashy moves. The Steelers acquired wide receiver D.K. Metcalf in a deal with the Seattle Seahawks and traded George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys.
They also moved on from safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in a trade with the Miami Dolphins for cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith, reshaping their secondary.
The most attention-grabbing move came when Pittsburgh signed quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal, adding a four-time NFL MVP to its championship pursuit.
Khan’s contract extension provides stability as the Steelers continue their pursuit of another Lombardi Trophy.
