The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a longstanding tradition of not negotiating contracts with players or their agents once the regular season gets underway and that process is not going to change with Omar Khan now serving as the team’s new general manager.
During his Friday introductory press conference at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, Khan was asked about the organization’s longstanding tradition of not having contract negotiations with players or their agents once the regular season gets underway and until it ends.
“Yeah, those principles will stay in place,” Khan said on Friday.
While Khan wasn’t asked about any offseason contract negotiations with any specific current player on Friday, the assumption so far in 2022 has been that the team hopes to get safety Minkah Fitzpatrick signed to a new deal at some point during the summer.
