Omar Khan’s not messing around. He went ahead and cleaned house Monday evening, releasing three Steelers’ players: QB Mitch Trubisky, OT Chukwuma Okorafor, and P Pressley Harvin III. In fairness, there’s a benefit for each of them. They get a jump on free agency, now free to talk with any team. With the NFL Combine in two weeks, that’s as good a time as any to begin mapping out future moves.
But perhaps who the team didn’t release speaks as loudly as the players they moved on from. Trubisky and Okorafor were due mid-March roster bonuses.
