Steelers Reject Bears' Trade Inquiry for Coach Mike Tomlin

Chicago's effort to acquire Pittsburgh's long-tenured head coach was denied, with Tomlin reaffirming his commitment to the Steelers.

The Chicago Bears contacted the Pittsburgh Steelers to explore a potential trade for head coach Mike Tomlin, but the Steelers immediately declined the request.
Mike Tomlin's contract includes a no-trade clause, and the coach made it clear he has no interest in leaving Pittsburgh, responding to inquiries with 'save your time.'
Tomlin, the NFL's longest-tenured head coach, recently signed a three-year contract extension with the Steelers, solidifying his position through the 2027 season.
The Bears are conducting an extensive search for a new head coach after firing Matt Eberflus, with interviews spanning high-profile candidates like Ben Johnson and Mike McCarthy.
Despite Tomlin's consistent regular-season success, the Steelers have faced criticism for their lack of recent playoff victories, with their last postseason win occurring in 2016.
