The steelers’ busy day after the super bowl isn’t over yet, as pittsburgh has reportedly extended running backs coach eddie faulkner.
There have been no announcements regarding the extension’s length. Faulkner has been with the steelers since 2019.
In 2023, he had the best season out of all on the steelers’ coaching staff, with najee harris and jaylen warren forming into one of the league’s best running back duos by the end of the season.
Faulkner was the steelers’ interim offensive coordinator after matt canada was fired in the midseason. as the steelers shift to a new offensive identity under new coach arthur smith in 2024, the steelers are clearly hoping for him to return.
As they decide whether or not to activate najee harris’ fifth-year option, the steelers coaching staff will have a major choice this offseason.
The faulkner extension comes on a busy day for the steelers, who released former starters Mitch Trubisky, Chuks okorafor, and pressley Harvin earlier today.
Since posing a bid for jeremiah moon before the super bowl, pittsburgh was also released from prisoner jeremiah moon off waivers today.
