The Pittsburgh Steelers are in real danger of losing one of their top front office members this offseason. According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Steelers Assistant General Manager Andy Weidl is a name to watch to take one of the available general manager jobs across the NFL.
“Another product of the Ozzie Newsome School of Scouting, Weidl and [Joe] Douglas worked hip-to-hip for years (first in Baltimore, then Philly)—and Douglas once tried to bring Weidl to the Jets to be his No. 2,” Breer
writes. “It didn’t happen, so this gifted scout, who cut his teeth on the college trail, had to wait a little longer to get the sort of role he now serves with the Steelers, where he more or less runs the scouting operation for general manager Omar Khan.”
Weidl began his NFL journey in Pittsburgh back in 1998 as a player personnel assistant. He rejoined the Steelers as Assistant General Manager behind Omar Khan when the latter took over as GM in 2022. He was the Vice President of Player Personnel with the Philadelphia Eagles, helping Philadelphia win Super Bowl LII over the New England Patriots.
