Steelers free agency: Will Omar Khan's aggression with Justin Fields, Russell Wilson pay off?
On the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to analyze GM Omar Khan's aggressive new approach to NFL free agency and trades. Did the fast overhaul of the quarterback room -- with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields coming in from the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears and Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph going out -- show needed risk tolerance this franchise has lacked? Or is a new willingness to acknowledge and correct mistakes the bigger change with so much of previous GM Kevin Colbert's roster already turned over? Later, our duo dissects the QB moves more. Does the Wilson/Fields tandem give the Steelers a chance at continuity? And how important is the tone Wilson is already setting compared to Pickett's actions late last season? Then finally, Chris and Ray address the future of the defense with Patrick Queen and DeShon Elliott in the fold. Does this unit have a chance to be the Steelers' most complete in years?
