The Pittsburgh Steelers signed general manager Omar Khan to a new contract that runs through the 2028 season.

The team announced the contract on Thursday but did not release any financial details.

Khan was named general manager in 2022 but is in his 25th season with the franchise.

“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 said in a team news release.

He has had a busy offseason, adding veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, trading for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith and navigating the draft. The Steelers selected defensive tackle Derrick Harmon of Oregon with their first-round pick.

“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,” Steelers president Art Rooney II said. “We look forward to continuing that trend that will lead to even more success on the field.”

The Steelers currently have 12 selections in the seven-round 2026 NFL Draft, which will be held in Pittsburgh.

Prior to being named general manager, Khan was the team’s vice president of football and business operations. He replaced former GM Kevin Colbert.

The Steelers are coming off back-to-back 10-7 seasons. They lost in the wild-card round of the playoffs both years.
