Typically, the Pittsburgh Steelers are very conservative in the trade market and in free agency. But in recent years, things have changed dramatically under new GM Omar Khan.
In the two offseasons in which Khan has been in charge of the roster, the Steelers have been much more aggressive via trade and have handed out some sizable contracts in free agency, changing things up from the usual mode of operation for the franchise.
For team president and owner Art Rooney II, there’s a method to Khan’s madness. That’s to improve the team as quickly as possible to get back to competing for the ultimate prize of a Super Bowl championship.
