The 2025 NFL season is already underway for many teams, including the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>. Now, in a surprising twist, a key member of Russell Wilson’s offense could be on the verge of leaving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mike Tomlin</a>‘s squad.



The 2024 season was a tough one for the Steelers, marked by significant roster changes, including the addition of two quarterbacks vying for the starting role.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson</a> ultimately won the starting job over Justin Fields. However, his performance was less than stellar, leaving the team with crucial decisions to make about their starting quarterback for the upcoming season.



<h2>Steelers on the verge of losing a key member of Russell Wilson’s offense</h2>



After their Wild Card round elimination by the Ravens, the Steelers are already preparing for next season. A major focus will be revamping the offense.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-ben-roethlisberger-takes-big-shot-at-mike-tomlin-after-steelers-loss-to-ravens-in-playoffs"></div>


Russell Wilson was the starting quarterback in 2024, but his underwhelming performance has fueled speculation that he may not return to the AFC North team this year.



Before Wilson’s arrival, the Steelers made a significant change by firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada after a dismal 2023 season. Arthur Smith was brought in as his replacement.



However, Smith’s tenure has been disappointing, with reports of a strained relationship with Wilson. This tension could see Smith leaving the Steelers ahead of the 2025 season.

The Chicago Bears have confirmed they interviewed Arthur Smith for their head coach vacancy. Although there are many candidates, Smith’s experience could make him an appealing choice for the NFC North team.



<h2>Will Mike Tomlin let Arthur Smith leave?</h2>



While the Bears may be interested, the Steelers have the final say on Smith’s future. Mike Tomlin brought him on board last year, and another change in the offensive coordinator role could disrupt their continuity.

Reports indicate that Russell Wilson might not return to the Steelers this year. Retaining Smith could provide much-needed stability as they prepare for a potential new quarterback in 2025.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger">Ben Roethlisberger</a> played several extraordinary years with Mike Tomlin as head coach. For that reason, he has an authorized voice when it comes to analyzing what is happening with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>.



Right now, the franchise faces absolute uncertainty after a 28-14 loss against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> was not the answer at quarterback, the defense allowed nearly 300 yards despite being one of the best in the league, and the team hasn’t won a playoff game in seven years.



The sad part of the situation for millions of fans is that the Steelers don’t look like a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contender in the near future. For this reason, according to Big Ben, Tomlin must be held accountable for several decisions.



<h2>How long will Mike Tomlin coach the Steelers?</h2>



Mike Tomlin has a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers until 2027 and, despite another early playoff elimination, will remain as the team’s head coach. Furthermore, this week he has already confirmed all the trade rumors are pure noise.


 

 


In this scenario, Ben Roethlisberger was very critical of Tomlin, especially for not going for it on 4th and short early in the game against the Ravens. It all happened in the latest episode of his podcast Footbahlin.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-george-pickens-takes-big-shot-at-mike-tomlin-russell-wilson-and-steelers-after-loss-to-ravens-in-playoffs"></div>


“You can’t be afraid. What is it? You can’t live in your fears, cut your eyelids off, don’t blink this and the other. Then go for it. In that situation, if your defense isn’t stopping them and they’ve got hundreds of yards more than you, then you need to go for it. You need to find a way to keep your offense on the field. There are just a lot of plays that need to be made.”

Mike Tomlin and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> failed once again in their attempt to win the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>. Now, one of the most important franchises in the NFL has gone over 15 seasons without a championship.



Additionally, the Steelers’ last playoff victory was in January 2017, and after their elimination against the Baltimore Ravens, the team is now on a six- game losing streak in the postseason. The worst in their history.



Now, the time has come to conduct a new analysis to determine what Tomlin, Omar Khan, and Art Rooney II need to do to become contenders again. There are many questions on the table, including the future of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> and Justin Fields.



<h2>Did the Steelers get rid of Mike Tomlin?</h2>



The Pittsburgh Steelers will keep Mike Tomlin as their leader for the 2025 season. However, Jon Gruden, a Super Bowl-winning coach, has pointed out the first issue that needs to be addressed to contend for the title. It all happened in The Shred Line.


 

 


“Let me tell you something. We used to have this thing called the ‘First 15’. It’s the first fifteen plays of the game. I learned this from Bill Walsh way back in the day. You try to get off to a good start. ‘Hey, let’s get a lead. Let’s make a few first downs. Let’s get some momentum going.’ Do you know that in the five Pittsburgh playoff games, the last five times, they’ve lost all five, they’ve been outscored 63-0 in the first quarter.”

“They just can’t get started. They fall behind and then they start losing confidence. They lose control of the game. Something has to change at the beginning of the game. The pregame meal, the pregame speech or the plays they run. They just can’t come out of he locker room and jump on anybody. It’s killing them.”

Mike Tomlin and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> seem ready to hit the reset button after another playoff failure. In his final press conference of the season, the head coach admitted that there will be many changes for the franchise.



Of course, the big question lies in the quarterback position. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a>, Justin Fields, a free agent, or perhaps finding a prospect through the Draft. All with the goal of finally finding the successor of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger">Ben Roethlisberger</a>. 



However, it is also a fact that the supporting cast did not meet expectations, and that’s why the offense had terrible numbers in the final weeks. In this scenario, with the goal of winning the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>, a star wide receiver has confirmed that he wants to play for Tomlin.



<h2>Who might Steelers sign?</h2>



During an interview with Kay Adams, Davante Adams acknowledged that he would like to play for Mike Tomlin and the Steelers. The statement came after a very interesting question by Kay about the team’s situation. “Pittsburgh could have used you this past weekend. You like Tomlin? You’d play for Tomlin?” 


 

 


This was his answer. “Oh, 100%. I love Mike. I think anytime you have a coach that’s a players coach. You can tell that they got a way with their guys. Those type of coaches, whether they coach me or not, they always win me over. So, I’ve had nothing but respect for him and it’s been mutual. He talked to me during some games. Obviously a great coach, but he is a great dude too.”

Star wide receiver admits he wants to play for Mike Tomlin and Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> playoffs dealt a blow to the present of the team led by head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a>, a figure about whom rumors had begun to swirl regarding his future.



The possibility of seeing Tomlin leave the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> sounds rare. The 52-year-old has been in the job since 2007, the longest tenure of any current NFL head coach. However, after 18 years and a fourth loss in five years in the first round of the postseason, the various versions began to grow timid.



Last week, NFL insider Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show that there were teams sounding out Tomlin to bring him on board. Many franchises are in search of a HC after the regular season and some organizations had reportedly looked at the Pittsburgh head coach.



<h2>Tomlin’s response to teams interested in him</h2>



At Tuesday’s season-ending press conference, Tomlin was asked what message he had for teams interested in hiring him as a coach. “I don’t have a message for them. Save your time. I enjoy the urgency that comes with what I do. I don’t make excuses for failure. I embrace it. But I also feel like I’m capable,” the Steelers coach said emphatically.

Tomlin signed a contract extension in mid-2024 that keeps him with the Steelers through 2027. The Pittsburgh head coach has stated on more than one occasion that he is very happy to be with the franchise and has also said that he is already working on building the team for the 2025 NFL season.


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-tomlin-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Tomlin was highly self-critical after loss to Ravens</h2>



The resounding loss to the Ravens caused Tomlin to reflect on the Steelers’ mistakes in the Wild Card round. “I certainly understand the frustrations and, probably more important than that, I share them. Because that’s how I’m wired. I’m not a big-time comfort seeker, and particularly in circumstances such as this, I don’t view myself as a comfort provider because words are hollow. It’s about what we do”, Tomlin sentenced.



“I’m certainly disappointed that I’m not working to prepare to play this week, and I’ve certainly felt that in recent years, but stuck is kind of a helpless feeling, and I don’t know that I feel helpless”, said Tomlin, analyzing the Steelers’ recent playoff losses.

NFL News: Mike Tomlin gives final answer to rumors about exit from the Steelers - Bolavip US

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still reeling from their loss to Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round. In his usual Tuesday press conference, head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a> made it clear on the situations of Justin Fields and recent starting QB Russell Wilson as possible quarterbacks for the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season.



In the current season, Tomlin has opted to use Russell Wilson and Justin Fields as his primary options. In the first part of the league, Fields started six games with a 4-2 record, but the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> head coach made the drastic decision to bench him and put Russ in the starting lineup once he recovered from his long-term calf injury.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Wilson</a> and Fields arrived in 2024 on the cheap and on short contracts, but they will be free agents in the offseason. At first it seemed like a masterful move, but with the loss behind him, Tomlin is open to multiple options at quarterback next year, even naming third-string quarterback Kyle Allen, who has seen little action and will also be a free agent in March. A decision on the future of all three is now pending.



<h2>Tomlin make one thing clear about the Steelers QB for the next season</h2>



“We don’t have a quarterback under contract and so we got some major discussions there. It was a really good experience with the three quarterbacks that were on our roster this year individually and collectively. I am certainly open to considering those guys, but there’s a lot of work ahead of us”, declared Tomlin about the future of Wilson, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a> and Allen in the team.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250115_BUS_313567_Wilson-Fields-1024x576_7fb59018.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Justin Fields and Russell Wilson" class="wp-image-236626" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Wilson-Fields-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Wilson-Fields-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Wilson-Fields-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Wilson-Fields-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Wilson-Fields.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, both teammates of Pittsburgh Steelers</figcaption></figure>



“The major work obviously starts first and foremost with just understanding what our options are. What the field looks like in terms of free agency and what the draft pool looks like. Then beginning the process in terms of decision making based on known variables”, added Tomlin.

<h2>Steelers sign new player just hours after losing to Ravens</h2>



While it is true that the Steelers have important decisions to make regarding the quarterback position for 2025. On Tuesday, a few days after the loss to the Ravens in the Wild Card Round, the signing of a new backup at the position was revealed.



The new player joining the Steelers next season is none other than quarterback Skylar Thompson, who signed a forward contract. The 27-year-old had joined the Miami Dolphins in 2022. The information was confirmed by NFL insider Ari Meirov and NBC Sports.



<h2>The Steelers replaced all of their quarterbacks last season</h2>



Last year, Tomlin’s Steelers made the surprising decision to move on from quarterbacks Kenny Pickett, Mitchell Trubisky and Mason Rudolph. Before the start of the 2024 NFL season, they signed Fields, Wilson and Allen, completely reshaping the position. Notably, the possibility of repeating that decision comes up again, so it will be interesting to see if Pittsburgh opts to keep any of their quarterbacks.

A few days after their elimination, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> are already making roster changes for the 2025 season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mike Tomlin</a> has signed a new quarterback amid uncertainty surrounding the futures of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.



Before the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, the Steelers made significant changes to their quarterback room. The club parted ways with Kenny Pickett and, in search of a new starter, found <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson</a> available in free agency.



Wilson was signed as the starter, but the Steelers also added <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> to compete with him. Now, with both quarterbacks set to become free agents, the Steelers face a critical decision on whether to retain them.



<h2>Tomlin signs new quarterback for the Steelers amid uncertainty over Wilson, Fields</h2>



The Steelers entered the 2024 season with many questions. The AFC North club had to rely on a new starting quarterback after trading Kenny Pickett to the Eagles and losing Mitchell Trubisky and Mason Rudolph.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-mike-tomlin-confirmed-changes-to-steelers-sent-final-admission-on-justin-fields-future"></div>


Pittsburgh signed Russell Wilson as a free agent and acquired Justin Fields via trade. Ultimately, Wilson, the former Seahawks and Broncos player, secured the starting job, with Fields only playing early in the season due to Wilson’s injuries.



Now, both quarterbacks’ futures are uncertain. With both set to become free agents, the Steelers have signed a new quarterback as a precaution in case Wilson and Fields depart.



Following their playoff elimination, the Steelers signed Skylar Thompson. The player’s agents confirmed the news on X, signaling a cautious move by the AFC North club.

Thompson, formerly <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tua-tagovailoa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tua Tagovailoa</a>‘s backup with the Dolphins, is not expected to be the starter. However, this move hints at the possibility that either Wilson or Fields, or both, may not return for the 2025 season.



<h2>Will the Steelers move on from Russell Wilson and Justin Fields?</h2>



The 2025 offseason promises to be eventful for the Steelers. The club must decide how to handle the quarterback situation, with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields entering free agency.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-bill-cowher-sends-strong-warning-to-mike-tomlin-and-steelers-after-elimination-in-playoffs-against-ravens"></div>


Currently, it seems more likely the Steelers will retain Justin Fields and move on from Wilson. The former Broncos player is expected to demand a lucrative deal, and Pittsburgh may be hesitant to commit to him long-term.

The Pittsburgh Steelers failed for the eighth straight year to win an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> playoffs game, in this case losing to the Baltimore Ravens. A long offseason has begun for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a>‘s team, which must define several key positions on the team, including the role of Justin Fields in the next campaign.



Tomlin held his final press conference of the season before an extended break as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> rebuild following their fourth wild-card round loss in five years. Pittsburgh’s head coach made it clear that there could be big changes coming to the organization.



One of the most important decisions to be made involves <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a>, who will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. The Steelers will have to figure out what to do with the former Chicago Bears quarterback. Tomlin talked about his plans for the 25-year-old.



<h2>Tomlin’s admission on Steelers changes and Justin Fields’ future</h2>



“Fields has certainly shown enough to be a starting QB next season. He has improved in many areas of his game. I’m open to considering other quarterbacks for next year, but we’ll see how the group ultimately looks,” Tomlin admitted about Fields’ future with the Steelers.

“Certainly there is change that comes at this time of year. I have half a day carved out to start talking to Omar Khan (General Manager) about the quarterback position and free agency. I don’t know that the selling of optimism is appropriate right now”, Tomlin sentenced.

<h2>Tomlin also spoke about the importance of quarterback mobility</h2>



“The quarterback mobility is very important, but that’s not a new discussion. I’ve expressed that in this setting and settings like these for years. The X factor that quarterback mobility is in our game and how it’s trending and been trending, that is not a new discussion”, Tomlin declared, thinking in the next year.

Bill Cowher became a Steelers legend by winning the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> after many years of trying. It was an extraordinary moment with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger">Ben Roethlisberger</a> backed by a historic defense.



When Cowher decided to step down, Mike Tomlin took over, and his rise was meteoric, winning a championship just three years after that previous ring of the franchise. The future seemed bright.



However, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> have currently eight seasons without a victory in the playoffs and seem far from being contenders in the NFL. The famous analyst of CBS had a strong message about that situation.



<h2>How long will Mike Tomlin coach the Steelers?</h2>



So far, the Steelers have shown no signs of firing Mike Tomlin, and the coach has no intention of leaving Pittsburgh. Despite this, in light of the severe crisis, Bill Cowher warned that things cannot continue the same way.


 

 


“It’s the manner with which they lost. You talk about the physicality and the fact that the Ravens rushed for almost 300 yards. That’s something they have to look at this offseason. Probably some changes on that football team. Players and coaches. Because right now that’s gonna stick with them for a long time. It’s not that they lost, it’s the manner with which they lost that football game.”

Bill Cowher sends strong warning to Mike Tomlin and Steelers after elimination in playoffs

George Pickens had a very tough season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>. The star wide receiver failed to surpass 1,000 yards, missed several weeks due to injury, and only caught three touchdowns throughout the year.



Additionally, the player sparked several controversies due to his behavior on and off the field. Problems with officials, fights with opponents, frustration over not getting enough targets, and a lack of communication with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> were some examples of this.



Pickens should be a key piece if the Steelers want to win the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>, but the reality is that no one knows what his future holds. Now, a stunning statement has created even more uncertainty.



<h2>Will George Pickens leave the Steelers?</h2>



During the press conference following the loss to the Ravens, a reporter asked George Pickens if, after three years with the team, he saw any signs of growth in the offense. “Yeah. I’ve seen signs of growth for sure. From past, you know, first year I’ve been here, just way more growth for sure.”


 

 


However, the wide receiver sparked major controversy when he faced the following question: “George, does that make you optimistic going forward?” This was Pickens’ incredible answer: “No.”

For many weeks, rumors have circulated that the young star doesn’t seem happy with the offense led by Russell Wilson. His response will fuel that theory even more, as well as the possibility that he might want to leave the team.
