Legendary Terry Bradshaw unexpectedly publicly criticizes GM Omar Khan for missing the 1,400+ yard star WR – and a bitter warning about the mistake that could cost the Steelers the entire season.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – November 8, 2025

Tension is once again rising in Pittsburgh as Super Bowl legend Terry Bradshaw — the iconic face of the Steelers’ dynasty — publicly criticized general manager Omar Khan for refusing to sign a young wide receiver who posted over 1,400 yards last season, a player who had just become a free agent shortly after the trade deadline closed.

According to team sources, the Steelers had a golden opportunity to add a true playmaker — one that many analysts called the perfect fit to revive Pittsburgh’s struggling offense. Yet Khan and the front office reportedly hesitated until the final moments before deciding to walk away, a move that Bradshaw called “a costly act of caution.”

“I’ve seen great teams fall apart not because they lacked talent, but because they were afraid to take chances,” Bradshaw said on FOX NFL Sunday. “This kid is a 1,400-yard receiver — young, explosive, everything this team needs right now. What I’m seeing is an offense that’s losing its identity, that spark Pittsburgh football used to have.”

Bradshaw — who led the Steelers to four Super Bowl titles — went on to say that Khan’s conservative approach could end up holding the franchise back in an increasingly competitive AFC.

“You can’t keep waiting for D.K. Metcalf to perform miracles every week,” he added. “This team needed a game-changer, and Omar Khan let him slip right through his fingers.”

According to ESPN, the player Bradshaw referred to was Jakobi Meyers — the 28-year-old receiver who racked up 1,412 yards and 10 touchdowns with the Raiders in 2024. Seen by many as the perfect complement to Metcalf, Meyers was available for a short window before making his decision. After the Steelers stepped back, Meyers officially joined the Jacksonville Jaguars, closing the door on what many believe could have been the move to transform Pittsburgh’s offense once and for all.

49ers Drop Bombshell Announcement After NFL’s Shocking Final Ruling on Wild Card Weekend
Santa Clara, California – January 5, 2026 The San Francisco 49ers received the NFL’s official word — and wasted no time making their stance clear. On Sunday night, the league finalized its Wild Card Weekend schedule for the 2025 postseason, confirming that the 49ers, entering as the NFC’s No. 6 seed, will travel to Lincoln Financial Field to face the No. 3-seeded Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, January 11, in the late-afternoon window (approximately 3:30–4:30 p.m. ET). The game will air nationally on FOX, placing a high-stakes postseason matchup under the league’s brightest spotlight. The 49ers’ announcement came shortly after the NFL’s release, emphasizing readiness and resolve despite falling short of the NFC West title. In a brief statement from Santa Clara, the team wrote:“Philadelphia. On the road. Playoff football. This is the moment. We’re ready.” San Francisco enters the postseason after a strong but bittersweet regular season finish. The 49ers closed the year at 12–5, securing a Wild Card berth but missing out on the division crown after a Week 18 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, who surged to a 14–3 record to claim the NFC West. A tiebreaker loss to the Los Angeles Rams (also 12–5) ultimately pushed the 49ers into the No. 6 seed. Speculation has followed the team in the wake of that late-season setback, particularly regarding consistency and execution against elite competition. Despite a roster loaded with postseason experience, the 49ers now face a demanding road path — beginning in one of the league’s most hostile playoff environments. The stakes extend beyond a single game. Lincoln Financial Field presents a punishing atmosphere, especially in January, where Philadelphia has built its identity around physicality and crowd intensity. With the Eagles hosting, the 49ers face not only a top-seeded opponent but an unforgiving environment where mistakes are rarely forgiven. Still, San Francisco is no stranger to adversity. The franchise has navigated deep postseason runs in recent years, and road playoff victories have become part of its recent identity. With both teams entering with legitimate championship aspirations, the margin for error will be razor thin. The NFL has made its schedule.The 49ers have made their statement.
