Steelers President Art Rooney II hopes the team can re-sign either Justin Fields or Russell Wilson but says the team will also look to the draft.

Pittsburgh Steelers team president Art Rooney II said the team was not interested in trading Mike Tomlin. At one point, the Steelers did receive a call from the Chicago Bears about a potential trade for Tomlin, but they were never too interested in the deal. Rooney says the Steelers shut it down quickly when they received the call.

Steelers President Art Rooney II was asked about this by the local Pittsburgh media and he defended the small coaching staff and said he didn’t think it is a limiting factor for this team despite its struggles. “I just don’t see that holding us back,” Rooney said. “I don’t think that’s our problem.”

With another bad ending to the Pittsburgh Steelers' season, some fans are asking what needs to change for the organization to get back to the Super Bowl contender status.

The fanbase was not happy with how the season ended, understandably, so the Steelers have to hope their own philosophy works. Tomlin was under fire for struggling in the postseason lately and Wilson was under fire for not winning the final month of the season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers could be a potential landing spot for a $84 million 49ers cut candidate who has been selected to two Pro Bowls.

Art Rooney II knows the Pittsburgh Steelers have problems. The team’s longtime president doesn’t think coach Mike Tomlin is one of them despite another quick playoff exit.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have multiple players who could get cut during the 2025 offseason, but one defensive lineman in particular is at the top of the list of candidates, according to one NFL analyst.

That leaves the Steelers in a tough spot. Even if they like someone Milroe, Dart, or another player, that quarterback is likely to be a mid-round draft pick, and someone like Sanders and Ward will be pushed up the board due to the lack of talent in this class.

The Pittsburgh Steelers desperately need to add more playmakers to their offense in 2025 after the team was sorely lacking in that area in 2024. One NFL analyst recently suggested a trade for Pittsburgh that would add a $71 million star playmaker to bolster the offense.
