Bears legend and former 49ers coach Mike Singletary is looking to get back into the NFL coaching ranks. In a new profile from The Athletic, Singletary revealed he shot down what would have been a blockbuster trade for Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in 2009.
According to Singletary, San Francisco owner John York, CEO Jed York and director of player personnel Trent Baalke had a deal with Pittsburgh in place. The franchise was willing to trade the future Hall of Fame quarterback at the time after a civil suit was filed alleging Roethlisberger had sexually assaulted a woman in Nevada.
