Shortly after the\u00a0New York Giants\u00a0confirmed on Monday that they had\u00a0parted ways\u00a0with head coach Brian Daboll, some members of the NFL community linked the Giants with Mike Tomlin of the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tomlin signed a three-year contract extension in June 2024\u00a0that reportedly pays him around $16M per year, meaning the Steelers will still hold his rights following the ongoing season. During a Wednesday appearance on Pittsburgh sports radio station 93.7 The Fan, Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette discussed whether or not the Giants could land Tomlin’s services via an offseason trade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“In years past, the Steelers would never do that,” Fittipaldo explained, per\u00a0Ross McCorkle\u00a0of Steelers Depot. “They would never even listen to the offer. They wouldn’t even take the phone call. I can’t sit here and tell you that it’s 100 percent gonna be that way again, but I would tend to think it would be.”<\/p>\n
Rumors about\u00a0Tomlin’s future hovered over the Steelers last winter, even though there was never any real indication that Pittsburgh considered making a change. The Steelers have a history of not firing head coaches, as they’ve employed\u00a0just three\u00a0since 1969.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That said, Pittsburgh hasn’t notched a playoff victory under Tomlin since the 2016 season. The 2025 Steelers won four of their first five games but have since fallen to 5-4. Meanwhile, it’s unclear if quarterback Aaron Rodgers will retire after this season. Pittsburgh’s current QB1 turns 42 years old in December.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I don’t think they’ve lost faith in that building just because of a rough month here,” Fittipaldo added about how the Steelers view Tomlin. “I think something really bad would have to transpire in the last two months of the season for them to even consider that. From the Steelers’ perspective, I still don’t think that would be in play.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
That “something really bad” could involve the Steelers losing their hold of first place in the AFC North standings. The suddenly hot Baltimore Ravens are at 4-5 and are closing in on Pittsburgh, but the Steelers will have an opportunity to earn a win over a division opponent when they host the Cincinnati Bengals (3-6) this Sunday. As of Thursday morning, ESPN BET had Pittsburgh as a 5.5-point favorite for that matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a heartbreaking revelation that has sent shockwaves through the NFL community, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin and his family are facing an incredibly difficult challenge. McLaurin\u2019s father has been diagnosed with a severe medical condition, and the family has come together to support him during this trying time.<\/p>\n
Terry McLaurin, known for his incredible work ethic and leadership on the field, shared the devastating news earlier today through a heartfelt post on social media. While details about his father\u2019s condition remain private, McLaurin expressed gratitude for the love and support his family has received and revealed that they are doing everything possible to ensure his father receives the best care available.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad has always been my role model and my biggest supporter,\u201d McLaurin shared in his emotional statement. \u201cThis is the hardest challenge we\u2019ve faced, but we\u2019re going to fight through this together as a family. My father has taught me everything I know about strength, and now it\u2019s my turn to be there for him. We ask for your prayers and support during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fans and teammates have quickly flooded social media with messages of support for McLaurin and his family. Known for his resilience on the field, McLaurin\u2019s strength off the field is now on full display as he faces this personal challenge with grace and determination. His message has resonated deeply with Commanders fans, who have rallied around him in solidarity.<\/p>\n
The Commanders organization has also issued a statement of support, with head coach Ron Rivera saying, \u201cTerry is a warrior on the field, but it\u2019s his heart and character that define him. Our team is behind him, and we will support him and his family every step of the way as they navigate this difficult journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
This news comes during a season in which McLaurin has been playing at an elite level, showcasing his skills as one of the league\u2019s top wide receivers. However, with his focus now on his family, the football world has come together to show their love and support for Terry and his father.<\/p>\n
As McLaurin and his family face this emotional challenge, the Commanders and NFL fans alike stand in unity with them. For now, the focus is on his father\u2019s health, and the entire NFL community is offering their prayers and well wishes during this difficult time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
