Steelers GM Khan to Attend Ohio State Pro Day as Draft Buzz Grows

Steelers general manager Omar Khan is expected to attend Ohio State's Pro Day, with coordinators Brian Angelichio and Patrick Graham also on site, as Pittsburgh continues its Pro Day scouting ahead of the draft. Ohio State is home to several projected first‑rounders the Steelers could target, including Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate and Kayden McDonald, among others. Khan’s appearance follows a Georgia Pro Day stop, and OSU staff ties (notably former Steelers coach Arthur Smith now OSU's OC) add intrigue around potential trades or selections, though McCarthy’s attendance remains uncertain.

Steelers Reignite Comp-Pick Strategy to Boost 2027 Draft Capital

The Steelers are again pursuing the compensatory-pick strategy in 2025 free agency, using trades and non-compensatory signings to maximize 2027 draft value. Early moves include trading for Pittman Jr., reworking Jamel Dean’s contract to avoid comp counts, and noting departures like Kenneth Gainwell and James Pierre, with Isaac Seumalo potentially adding a fifth-round comp. If this repeats, it could steadily feed more draft capital.

Khan Promises Flexibility Over Fixes for Steelers’ 2026 Plan

At the Steelers’ 2026 media day, GM Omar Khan stressed flexibility over sweeping changes, signaling that no drastic roster purge is planned even as he keeps options open with top players. He offered guarded updates: Broderick Jones’ neck injury is significant with no clear timetable; Jones’ return and Kaleb Johnson’s rookie year status remain murky; Darnell Washington’s broken arm won’t derail plans and DeShon Elliott is on schedule; fifth-year option for Jones likely declined with Dylan Cook in the left‑tackle mix. On Aaron Rodgers, he acknowledged no hard deadline but expects a decision sooner than later. He also avoided firm guarantees on veterans like Patrick Queen and Jalen Ramsey while stressing cap space could support unconventional moves (extensions for multiple tight ends or extra edge rushers). Overall, Khan’s tone kept the Steelers flexible rather than predictive.

Steelers signal sweeping coaching shake-up as emails go dark for staff

Omar Khan and Art Rooney II told Steelers coaches that their emails would be shut off after the week and to start exploring other jobs, signaling a broad overhaul as a new head coach likely takes the reins; one coach, Danny Smith, has already departed for Tampa Bay and many assistants face uncertain futures depending on the next hire.

Glazer: Steelers Must Open Up Spending to Stay Relevant After Tomlin

NFL insider Jay Glazer says the Steelers must overhaul their organizational approach and spending in the post-Tomlin era to stay relevant, criticizing a culture of conservatism and reliance on stability. He notes recent bold moves—trading for DK Metcalf and the Minkah Fitzpatrick–Jalen Ramsey transactions—as evidence the team can change, and argues that opening up to outside spending is necessary, a shift GM Omar Khan has begun to push, even as the Steelers navigate a quarterback and aging defense.

"2024 Pittsburgh Steelers Free Agency Forecast and Predictions"

The Pittsburgh Steelers, with a significant increase in the salary cap and the release of veterans, are expected to be more active in the 2024 free agency under general manager Omar Khan. While the team has needs at inside linebacker, cornerback, offensive line, safety, and quarterback, it's unlikely they pursue a big-name quarterback in free agency. The team may consider re-signing Mason Rudolph or pursue former Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The Steelers will also need to make moves to free up cap space and address needs in the secondary and offensive line.
