Steelers’ Mike Tomlin to teams interested in trading for him: ‘Save your time’

Pittsburgh: So, Mike Tomlin, the head coach of the Steelers, made it clear that he’s not interested in any trade talks. He told teams thinking about it to just “save your time.”

During his end-of-season press conference, he focused on what’s next for the Steelers instead of discussing a future elsewhere. He’s all about improving for the 2025 season.

Tomlin expressed disappointment about the team’s performance, especially since they started strong at 10-3. But they ended up losing in the first round of the playoffs again, which has happened five times in the last eight seasons.

After a rough patch, the Steelers lost four straight games, including two to the Ravens. Tomlin believes they got what they deserved in the end. He’s not one to blame bad luck; he thinks it’s all about how you play the game.

Fans have been critical of the team’s recent playoff struggles, but with Tomlin’s three-year extension, it seems he’s here to stay. He understands the pressure and criticism that comes with the job and embraces it.

In his 18 seasons, he’s had a solid record and even won a Super Bowl. But there’s still a lot to figure out before next season.

Both quarterbacks, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, are on expiring contracts, and there are potential staff changes on the horizon. Tomlin isn’t ready to predict how things will go for 2025 just yet. He’s focused on the work ahead and knows it’s going to be a long offseason.
