Florio: Steelers Have Pulled Off A ‘Major Coup’ This Week, Stepping Away From Ways Of The Past

Throughout the history of the franchise, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been largely conservative when it comes to player acquisition via trades and in free agency.

Things have seemingly changed a bit in the last week under GM Omar Khan, who is in his second full offseason in charge of the Steelers.

In the last week, Khan has signed veteran quarterback Russell Wilson to a cheap one-year deal, added linebacker Patrick Queen and safety DeShon Elliott in free agency, as well as punter Cameron Johnston. He also traded away the likes of wide receiver Diontae Johnson and quarterback Kenny Pickett in separate deals and acquired cornerback Donte Jackson and quarterback Justin Fields via trades.
