Chris Carter here in the Locked-on Steelers podcast.

We got Nick Faribar on.

I want to talk to Nick about Omar Khan's history of free agent signings.

Is there a systemic problem within the Steelers pattern of signing free agents?

Or has he just not had the chance to have a big free agent splash yet because of the pools of Steelers have had?

We'll talk about that, whether or not the Steelers can find their own version of Sam

Donald and Free Agency soon and our final stars and skull grades on the edge defenders.

It's all here on the Locked on Steelers podcast.

Let's get into.

As a summer before, joined by the man himself, Nick Farable. He's back from penlive.com. We love having Nick on the show. Nick, I was looking through a free agency. And, you know, we're in that time of the year where it's the early part of the offseason. The Super Bowl just ended free agencies next month, the combine at the end of this month. We got a lot of things to go over. But in talking, looking at free agency preparing for things, I started to go over the free agency classes that Omar Khan's brought in. You could say there's some hits. Isaac Samalo certainly worked out when they brought him in three years ago. He's been a reliable guard. Atlanta Roberts worked for a couple years. You can say Deshaun Elliott's been a good signing. There's also been some busts. You know, they tried to bring in Keanu Neal. That didn't work. They tried to bring him Darius Slay and Juan Thornton. Both of those were disastrous picks. And there's other guys you could say, like, you know, they worked for a time like Russell Wilson and Patrick Queen's certainly been good, but not been the stellar player that they were hoping to get it linebacker.

Where do you see this? Is this a problem for the system that the Steelers have been using to go get

their free agents? If it's a problem of their own or have they just been in not as opportunistic

free agency pools to get the guys that they really

need well i think there's a little bit of difference going on there for one i think they've hit

on some really under the radar talents you talk about the sean elliott i think i'd put brandon
