Omar Khan isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ general manager has agreed to a three-year contract extension that runs through the 2028 season.
Khan, 48, has been Pittsburgh’s general manager since he succeeded Kevin Colbert in 2022. This year marks Khan’s 25th season with the organization.

We look forward to continuing that trend that will lead to even more success on the field.”
Khan has made sweeping changes to Pittsburgh’s roster during his time as general manger. Wideout Calvin Austin III, tight end Pat Freiermuth, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward, pass rushers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, kicker Chris Boswell and long snapper Christian Kuntz are the only current starters who were on the roster when Khan took the baton from Colbert (the franchise’s only other general manager since the turn of the century) at the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft.
