Steelers' Omar Khan Wins Diontae Johnson Trade After Critical Work On New Contract For Donte Jackson

[SteelerNation.com News]

Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Omar Khan has been busy once again this offseason. He has not only managed to procure several players on key positions for the team, he’s also managed to do it while saving the Steelers money. It’s something that’s more critical than ever during a time when the Steelers have a number of needs, but still have a cap ceiling they have to respect.

This deserves a big bump.

Now it makes way more sense, value+contract wise DJ & DJ weren't equal. Khan is a smooth operator

Cornerbacks are one of those positions where a player can perform better in certain defenses. Witherspoon was real nice his first year in Pittsburgh and then was terrific again with the Rams this past year and I don't think he was exactly known as a shutdown guy. I'm hoping Jackson will be a good scheme fit and outperform his previous stint in Carolina.

Actually, for 4.25 million, if he can start all 17 games and play just above average (he will play way better than that), then we will have gotten a pretty good deal.

DJ the WR wasn’t some super star production, so DJ the CB needs to match that level, but I’m sure will exceed it.
