The Bears requested permission to interview Khan on Jan. 12 and it is confirmed that the Steelers have given permission for him to do so, as Khan will interview for general manager on Monday, Jan. 24.
Chicago has other candidates they will interview this week for the general manager position, as they will interview Indianapolis’ director of college scouting, Morocco Brown, on Monday as well as Khan.

Khan has been a general manager candidate in the past, including for the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans last offseason. He has previously interviewed with the Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks.
Khan, who is 44, has been with the Steelers the last 20 years in various roles. He started as football administrator coordinator in 2001 and served in that position until 2011, where he became director of football administration from 2011 to 2016 when he started in his current role of vice president.
A college graduate of Tulane University in New Orleans, he started his professional career there, serving in football operations from 1997 to 2001 for the Saints before joining the Steelers.
