Steelers sign general manager Omar Khan to new 3-year contract
Khan, who has been the Steelers' general manager since 2022, will be with the team through at least the 2028 season after inking the new deal.
"I am excited to announce we have signed Omar to a new three-year contract," Steelers President Art Rooney II said in a news release. "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."
The Steelers said Khan has aggressively built a roster that provides strength at all positions and includes immediate starters as rookies. When Pittsburgh hosts the 2026 NFL Draft, the Steelers said they already have 12 selections, thanks to Khan.
"I would like to thank Art Rooney II for his support," Khan said in a press release. "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."
Khan has been with the team for 25 years, most recently working as the team's vice president of football and business operations. There, his role was focused on managing the team's salary cap and negotiating contracts with players and coaches.

Mike Vrabel recalled getting into a training camp fight as a rookie in 1997
When asked a reporter at his 'I don't want any of us doing that,' he said. Vrabel then quickly replied 'nope' when asked if he could offer more detail from that earlier moment in his career. Advertisement Eventually, however, he reflected on the episode. Vrabel took the bait when a reporter asked if he won the fight. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'I think I did,' he said. 'It's a good story about — don't use the fight — but about a veteran player. Greg Lloyd was a very dominant player, imposing figure. I got drafted in April, and he didn't say a word to me through OTAs. And I'm on the defense, mind you. So he didn't say a word to me the entire offseason. 'We go to training camp. There's a fight with me and a tight end, and I'm exhausted after practice, and I see this shadow come over me as I'm sitting in the locker room, and he's in his deep voice, and he's like, 'Yeah, the next time you want to come up underneath the face mask?' I was like, 'You just now are going to talk to me?' He's like, 'Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you weren't like a punk, and then I would talk to you.' Advertisement 'It's a good example of just a veteran making sure that rookies kind of earn their stripes, I guess, a little bit.' Asked if he has specifically told his players to not fight, Vrabel provided a detailed explanation. 'Of course,' Vrabel replied. 'We want to be able to practice the same way we have to play, which is physical and within the rules. Have a great play demeanor, finish through the whistle, and all those things. 'If you throw a punch, you're going to get kicked out of the game, which is going to cost the team. So I don't anticipate any of that,' he said. 'I want us to celebrate with our team and with the defensive unit, celebrate with each other. Offensive unit, get excited and celebrate with each other, not get into the taunting and the things that we can't have during the game.' Vrabel, drafted by the Steelers, played with Pittsburgh from 1997-2000. But after not becoming a starter, he was allowed to test free agency. Bill Belichick and the Patriots gratefully swooped in to sign him, and the edge-rusher became an important part of the early part of New England's dynasty, winning three Super Bowls in four seasons.

Bills QB Josh Allen Hits Breaking Point With Patrick Mahomes Question
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are on of, if not the top rivalry in the NFL right now, and Josh Allen versus Patrick Mahomes is arguably the top quarterback-versus-quarterback rivalry in the league as well. But for as entertaining as their matchups have been, the rivalry always seems to favor the Bills during the regular season (they have a 4-1 record against KC), and the Chiefs during the postseason (they're 4-0 against Buffalo). And perhaps the most frustrating part about it for Allen and the Bills is that they've been so close to exorcising their demons against the Chiefs in the playoffs only to fall just short. Buffalo lost 32-29 to Kansas City in the AFC Championship just last season — a game many feel the Bills were robbed in after Allen was ruled short of a first down on a QB sneak on fourth down early in the fourth quarter after taking a 22-21 lead that could've put the game out of reach for the Chiefs, who scored a go-ahead touchdown to take a 29-22 lead on the very next drive. More NFL: Jon Gruden Says This NFL QB Reminds Him of Joe Montana Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills talks with Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs after an NFL game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 10, 2021 in Kansas City, Missouri. Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills talks with Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs after an NFL game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 10, 2021 in Kansas City, marked the third time in the last three seasons that Allen and the Bills had their season ended by Mahomes and the Chiefs. It's no surprise that after all those heartbreaking defeats, Allen has been incessantly asked how he can finally break through against Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs — a question he recently admitted he's sick of being asked. "You've got to make sure that you're doing everything right on your side of the football and not giving him short fields and turnovers," Allen said, via D.J. Siddiqi of Esports Insider. "Getting over that hump, it's been the question. I hear it all the time. I'm getting a little tired of it. But the way to stop getting that question asked is to go out there and do it." The Bills have lost twice to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game and twice during the divisional round of the playoffs. More NFL: Rams' Sean McVay Drops Concerning Matthew Stafford Injury Update Back in 2023, Buffalo fell 27-24 after leading for the first two quarters and taking a 24-20 lead into the fourth. In 2022, the Bills came up just short in overtime (42-36) after coming back from a nine-point deficit to take a three-point lead with just 1:54 left in the game before the two teams traded touchdowns and KC hit a field goal as time expired to send it to OT. Their 2021 meeting was the only one what wasn't particularly close (KC won 38-24). The way things have gone over the last handful of years, it wouldn't be surprising to see Allen and Mahomes meet in the playoffs again this season.
