Mike Tomlin Refuses To Rule Out More Big Moves For Steelers Before Week 1

Could Pittsburgh make one last big offseason move?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been incredibly busy this offseason, bringing in star players like Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey to help them in their quest to make a Super Bowl run in 2025. According to head coach Mike Tomlin’s latest comments, they may not be done making big moves just yet, either.

Over the past few months, the Steelers have not been shy in showing that they are going all in on the upcoming season. With Rodgers taking over at quarterback, the team feels confident in its ability to go on a deep playoff run, and the front office has done everything in its power to build the best possible team around him.

And yet, there may still be moves to make. Superstars like Micah Parsons and Terry McLaurin have requested trades from their teams amid ongoing contract disputes, and both players have been linked to Pittsburgh recently. Given what they have already done, it may seem like the Steelers are done conducting business this offseason, but Tomlin indicated that may not be the case.

“You never say never,” Tomlin said when asked whether or not Pittsburgh is done acquiring star players ahead of the new season. “As I mentioned, somebody could call with a high level of urgency and change those plans. And so I just learned through experience over the years to take things as they come.”

“We’ve certainly had an active offseason, but all of these opportunities kind of came at us individually. I don’t know that you could characterize it as a collective agenda. We were fortunate to get some of these things done and acquire some top-notch players. And I’m open to that continuing, if it presents itself and it presents itself in an appropriate way.”

Regardless of what happens between now and the start of the regular season, the Steelers’ roster is undoubtedly better than it was last year. However, if the team really wants to solidify itself as a Super Bowl contender, swinging a massive deal for somebody like Parsons or McLaurin could be what puts Pittsburgh over the top.
