Historically, the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t really get into the free agency frenzy and go crazy spending money on players that they didn’t draft and develop on their own.
When the franchise does venture into the Wild West that is free agency, they tend to go bargain shopping and usually get the most bang for their buck. Sometimes though, they’ll have wild misses, too.
New GM Omar Khan will have his first true test coming up next week as free agency opens and he’s the head man in charge for the Steelers, overseeing everything after spending 20+ years under former GM Kevin Colbert’s wing.
