Omar Khan and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ front office were on a mission this offseason. They were not going to take any half measures in their quest to overcome a nearly decade-long playoff drought. That sense of urgency was evident in both the volume and magnitude of the moves they made. And players on the team took notice.
T.J. Watt had a decision to make as he weighed his options for what could be his final NFL contract. Perhaps the front office’s sense of urgency to improve the roster made his decision easier.
“The longer I’m in the league, the more turnover it seems to have year in and year out,” Watt said via the Steelers’ YouTube.
