It’s not even March and the Pittsburgh Steelers have already released four players. In a first wave, they parted ways with QB Mitch Trubisky, T Chukwuma Okorafor, and P Pressley Harvin III. More recently, they added C Mason Cole to that list. That’s four players who opened the 2022 season as starters, which leaves us with only one conclusion.
General manager Omar Khan isn’t playing around.
I say that in a general tone, because the Steelers reach decisions such as these as a collective. Khan didn’t singlehandedly decide to release Harvin without talking to anybody about it.
