The Steelers also released statements from both team president Art Rooney II and Khan himself after the move was made public.
“I am excited to announce we have signed Omar to a new three-year contract,” said Steelers President Art Rooney II. “Omar and his team have done a great job over the past three years in constructing our roster through the NFL Draft, strategic trades, and free agency. We look forward to continuing that trend that will lead to even more success on the field.”
As for Khan himself, he is ready to anchor the front office for years to come.
“I would like to thank Art Rooney II for his support,” said Khan. “I believe we are building a championship roster and look forward to the 2025 season and beyond as our goals continue to be to bring another Super Bowl to the City of Pittsburgh and our great fans.”
For those that don’t know, Omar Khan has been a mainstay within the organization for a very long time, dating back to the Kevin Colbert era. Prior to his role as General Manager, Khan was the team’s Vice President of Football and Business Operations, working with Rooney, former General Manager Kevin Colbert and Coach Mike Tomlin in the management of the Football Operations Department. His role was primarily focused on managing the team’s salary cap and negotiating player and coaches’ contracts.
