At the 2024 NFL Combine, Omar Khan was asked about the earlier-than-usual release of certain players from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster. He called it the “right thing to do”.
“I would say that with Pressley and Mitch and Mason and Chuks, once we made the decision that they weren’t going to be part of the 2024 team, it just felt like the right thing to do was to give those guys the opportunity to hit the free agency market sooner than later,” Khan said.
It was a nice gesture to help these players, who, by all accounts, were good human beings in the locker room.
