In a major move to secure long-term stability and vision in the front office, the Pittsburgh Steelers have officially signed General Manager Omar Khan to a new three-year contract extension, ensuring he will remain at the helm through at least the 2028 NFL season.
The announcement was made Monday morning by Steelers President Art Rooney II, who praised Khan for his leadership, strategic acumen, and commitment to building a championship-caliber roster.
“Omar has proven himself to be a forward-thinking and highly effective general manager,” Rooney said in a statement. “His ability to balance tradition with innovation has positioned this team for sustained success.”
Since taking over in 2022 following Kevin Colbert’s retirement, Khan has quickly made his mark, orchestrating impactful draft selections, savvy free-agent acquisitions, and bold trades that have reshaped the team’s identity on both sides of the ball. Under his leadership, the Steelers have retooled the roster with emerging stars while maintaining the franchise’s signature toughness and defensive strength.
Khan, often referred to as “The Architect of the Future,” expressed gratitude for the extension and reaffirmed his dedication to bringing another Lombardi Trophy to Pittsburgh.
“This organization means everything to me,” Khan said. “The fans, the players, the coaches — we’re building something special here, and I’m honored to continue leading the charge.”
The extension has been met with excitement throughout Steelers Nation, with players, coaches, and fans applauding the move as a clear sign of the franchise’s commitment to excellence and continuity.
With the front office now solidified and a roster full of rising talent, the path to greatness remains wide open — and Omar Khan will be steering the ship all the way through 2028.
