The Bears and one other mystery team reached out to the Steelers about the possibility of trading for longtime coach Mike Tomlin, but quickly were told no, ESPN reported.
The team would have needed permission to negotiate with Tomlin in order to make a deal, and he indicated this week he had no interest in leaving the Steelers. “Save your time,” he said when asked about a team inquiring.
Tomlin, 52, is one of the best coaches in the game, and there’s little reason to believe the Steelers would want to move on from him.
