Just less than a month after hiring the Aaron Rodgers quarter, the Pittsburgh steelers extended the contract of general director Omar Khan on Thursday.
Khan will stay in office until the end of the 2028 season, at the very least.
He was hired as CEO of the team in 2022.
“Omar and his team did an excellent job to build our team thanks to the draft, exchanges and the market for autonomous players,” said the president of Steelers Art Rooney II, in a press release. We are looking forward to continuing this momentum and knowing even more success. »»
The most useful player of the NFL on four occasions, Rodgers signed a one -year contract to play a 21st season.
Last year, Justin Fields and Russell Wilson led the Steelers to a 10-7 file before a defeat in the first eliminatory round, in Baltimore.
To strengthen the post of receiver, Pittsburgh acquired the DK Metcalf winger from Seattle, granting him a five -year contract.
Earlier this week, the team acquired the corner half of Jalen Ramsey, the close winger Jonnu Smith and a choice of seventh round in 2027 of the Miami dolphins, in exchange for the Minkah Fitzpatrick and a Choice of Fifth Round in 2027.
The next step for Pittsburgh could be to conclude a new contract with the second TJ Watt, sixth in the league with 11 and a half bags, last year.
Watt is preparing to start the last season of a pact started in 2021.
The Steelers should have a dozen choices during the 2026 draft, which will be held in Pittsburgh.
