There's effecting change, and then there's overseeing an offseason in which the Steelers replaced 9 of 22 starting positions from the previous season's final roster, there's bringing aboard Aaron Rodgers, there's trading for DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith, there's sending out Minkah Fitzpatrick and George Pickens, there's adding Darius Slay ... and then all that's capped by retaining a franchise treasure in T.J. Watt.
All while adding assets toward future NFL Drafts, adroitly aimed at the next quarterback.
GMs get too much credit and too much blame, as Khan himself would be the first to attest. He benefits from a bunch of help, chiefly from Andy Weidl and, in his own way, Mike Tomlin. But this is ... wow, it's a piece of work.
Imagine if it works.
