With all the noise surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, it’s easy to overlook the subtle moves that carry just as much meaning.
Yes, the Steelers traded for DK Metcalf, signed future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, added Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith, and capped it all off with a record-breaking three-year, $123 million extension for T.J. Watt.
The roster overhaul has been bold, aggressive, and unapologetic.
But quietly, amid this chaos, Omar Khan and the front office made another bold statement—one that didn’t involve a press conference or blockbuster trade.
They chose not to make a splash at wide receiver beyond Metcalf, signaling a strong belief in the development of third-year wideout Calvin Austin III.
