Put this in the “for what it’s worth category” but The Athletic’s Dianna Russini issued an interesting Saturday morning report. Tucked away in her weekly column, Russini dropped this line about Mike Tomlin and his future as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach, saying there’s been “chatter” about the team being willing to trade him.
“There has been chatter that perhaps the Steelers would consider trading Tomlin to Washington, Chicago or even Carolina to get back some picks,” she writes.
What does “chatter” mean? Where is it coming from? She doesn’t expand, which definitely makes the report a little less interesting than if she pointed to a direct source.
