Steelers' Omar Khan 'Has Been Frugal' But Needs To Extend Pat Freiermuth Immediately
The Pittsburgh Steelers front office and General Manager Omar Khan should be fairly active during training camp when it comes to contract talks with some of their players. Cam Heyward, Pat Freiermuth, and Najee Harris are all heading into the final year of their respective contracts, and it would benefit Pittsburgh to lock up some of them past the 2024 season. Freiermuth is especially seen as a priority, as the tight end position is a strong focal point in Arthur Smith's offense. Freiermuth has had a somewhat inconsistent career so far in Pittsburgh. He has struggled with injuries, but has also been very productive for...

T.J. Watt Intends On Helping Rookie OT Troy Fautanu, But Not Before Figuring Him Out
The Pittsburgh Steelers hopefully completed their offensive line overhaul when they spent three of their top five picks on the group in the 2024 NFL Draft. Given the high investments, OT Troy Fautanu and C Zach Frazier will likely be counted on to start as early as Week 1. Growing pains can be expected, as they are with any rookie, but Fautanu in particular will have the benefit of practicing against the best edge rusher in the NFL every day.
