According to sources, Tomlin told players on Tuesday that he plans to come back next season. The news comes one day after the Steelers’ season came to an end after a 31-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs.

Tomlin has one year left on his contract. He signed a contract extension with Pittsburgh in 2021 that runs through the 2024 season.

With the departures of Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll this offseason, Tomlin is currently the longest-tenured NFL head coach at 17 years.

On Monday after the team’s playoff loss, Tomlin walked off the podium after being asked about his contract status.

While speaking to media members, Tomlin was asked by a reporter, “Mike, you have a year left on your contract…” and Tomlin   before the question could be finished. It was the last question asked by media members.

According to an ESPN report on Tuesday, Tomlin “has given no indications” of wanting to step away in recent weeks. A source told ESPN that “contract extension talks could intensify this offseason.”

Many of the team’s key players, including defensive starts T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward, have voiced their support for Tomlin.
