It was the NFL’s worst-kept secret but the Pittsburgh Steelers’ phone was ringing off the hook basically until 7 PM Friday night. Sitting at the top of the second round holding the 32nd overall pick with two top quarterbacks available, the Steelers were flooded with trade offers to give up that selection and move back in the draft.

Joining 102.5 DVE’s morning show Wednesday, GM Omar Khan discussed the team’s process of listening to picks for #32 and the decision to stay and select Penn State CB Joey Porter Jr.

“We had multiple offers, really good value offers,” Khan told the show Wednesday.
