So he is going to have to win over Steelers fan base for a second time.
Yeah, that was a really tough look for Omar Khan, the general manager.
I mean, the draft was in Pittsburgh.
The Steelers were in prime position to make a splash.
And you have to realize that Omar Khan is not your typical kind of general manager.
He did not earn his job because he's a boots on the ground scout who does these detailed player evaluations.
No, he came up through the salary cap route and got his job because he was supposed to be a wheeler and dealer who was aware of league happenings.
And so you take that type of a GM who's supposed to be good at knowing what's going on around him and good at making deals.
You arm him with a league-high 12 draft picks to make an aggressive splash, and instead, with the draft in Pittsburgh, he really gets caught embarrassed on the phone with Makai Lemon.
It's an awful look from the Steelers in their front office, and I think it's reasonable for people to look at that type of thing and question the direction of the Pittsburgh Steelers and who is heading their front office.
Yeah, you know, right after Mike Tomlin resigned, there were some questions about could this be an opportunity to hit the reset button, to bring in a young, fresh coach and to retool the roster.
You could trade T.J.
Watt and try to get a haul from him.
You could move on from some of these aging veterans on defense.
You could see what you had in Will Howard.
But the Steelers really have taken the exact opposite approach here.
They instead signed a number of aging veterans to supplement the group that they already had.
Jamel Dean, they traded for Michael Pittman Jr.
They extended Cameron Hayward.
So they are very much committed.
