Posted: 26 Dec 2023, 16:07
(PITTSBURGH, PA) The offseason is officially underway and the first news from the new owners is starting to leak. Mike Tomlin has officially been told he will be coming back as the head coach. The 51 year old is coming back for his 18th season and will be under the most pressure in his career this offseason. Another bad season and it could be the end for Tomlin in the black and yellow.
Tomlin's first order of business is to fix the offense that ranked 31st in 2023. Running back Najee Harris had his 5th year option picked up. The main star from last season will be coming back on a one year deal as well defensive back Levi Wallace who signed a new extension. The Steelers did make one big change, offensive coordinator Victor Price has been let go and QB guru Jeremy Green was hired. With the Steelers looking to draft a QB, Green and his QB history made the most choice going forward.
On defense, line backer, Kwon Alexander turned down any contract talk saying he was looking to leave the team.
"We are excited about the changes. The team got together and looked at the current roster and decided an overhaul of the scheme was needed. You will see us playing more open and spread this next season and that is how we will build the roster this offseason." Tomlin announced.
