Kevin Colbert ended his Pittsburgh Steelers tenure going year-to-year on his contracts before retiring after the 2022 NFL Draft. Ray Fittipaldo wonders if Mike Tomlin could begin going down the same path. Though Tomlin is doubtful to enter lame duck status of entering 2024 on an expiring contract, Fittipaldo believes Tomlin could opt against the multi-year extensions he’s received in the past.
“I’m wondering now if we’re at the point with Mike’s career that he just takes it year-by-year. Do a one-year deal, and then we’ll do the whole dance again next year,” Fittipaldo said as a guest on the Ohio-based Rothman & Ice show earlier today.
