It was a busy Tuesday for the Pittsburgh Steelers and GM Omar Khan. Entering the day, Pittsburgh needed to make a move to add a wide receiver. Ultimately, Khan did just that, trading for veteran WR Mike Williams from the New York Jets.
He wasn’t done either. Later in the day, Khan swung a surprise trade with the Green Bay Packers, landing veteran pass rusher Preston Smith, shoring up depth defensively.
For former NFL GM Doug Whaley those moves sent a message to the rest of the league regarding the Steelers’ Super Bowl aspirations.
