There’s been speculation that Mike Tomlin’s job security is tied to his contract, which has three years remaining. The deal, reportedly worth around $40 million, is a significant investment for the Steelers.
While Art Rooney II has expressed support for Tomlin, the contract’s value and duration might be a major factor in the team’s decision-making process. Firing Tomlin would result in a substantial financial hit, which could be a deterrent for the Steelers.
Is the contract clause holding the Steelers hostage, forcing them to stick with Tomlin despite the team’s underwhelming performance? The answer remains unclear, but one thing is certain – the situation is complex, and the contract’s impact cannot be ignored.
