Mike Tomlin has hilarious three-word response to Steelers trade rumors

For any fans of the Black and Gold who need a little humor after their beloved Pittsburgh Steelers lost five straight to end the 2024 season—and with the team seemingly on the verge of a rebuild—HC Mike Tomlin has you covered.

Ever since insider Adam Schefter discussed the potential of multiple head coach-less NFL teams calling the Pittsburgh Steelers to inquire about Tomlin’s availability and the cost for a trade, these dreaded rumors have been hard to shake—until Coach T addressed the controversy head-on in Tuesday’s press conference.

Reporters asked Tomlin what his potential message would be to any teams looking to acquire his services. At first, the head coach shot it down:

“I have no message.”

However, with one quick shrug of the shoulders, Tomlin practically killed off any trade rumors with this hilarious three-word response to those teams:

“Save your time.”

Tomlin could be alluding to the no-trade clause in his contract, or he could simply understand how unlikely it is that the Pittsburgh Steelers would entertain any of these conversations.
