Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s the job of Steelers general manager Omar Khan, who continues to break the mold of what the team will and will not do.
Khan made another signature splash on Sunday, trading for Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf and signing him to a team-record $150 million contract.
That’s just the start for Khan, having spent more money than at any point in team history, before free agency even starts. He’s got plenty more cap space, and it will be easy to make more, so don’t expect Omar to slow down now. Alan breaks it down.
