Dak Prescott’s aspirations to join the Pittsburgh Steelers have taken the NFL world by storm, but Head Coach Mike Tomlin has made it clear—this is not going to happen. The Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback, who has faced increasing scrutiny after multiple playoff disappointments, is reportedly eager for a fresh start, and Pittsburgh has emerged as his preferred destination. However, despite Prescott’s strong desire to don the black and gold, the Steelers’ leadership seems to have other plans.

Sources close to the situation claim that Prescott has reached out multiple times, expressing his willingness to adapt, compete, and even restructure his contract to make the move more feasible. He believes that with the Steelers’ offensive weapons and strong defense, he could finally achieve the level of postseason success that has eluded him in Dallas. But while Prescott may see Pittsburgh as the perfect opportunity, Coach Tomlin and the Steelers’ front office aren’t exactly rolling out the welcome mat.

When asked about the possibility of signing Prescott, Tomlin reportedly dismissed the idea outright, stating, “We have a plan in place, and it does not involve a quarterback change like this.” The Steelers, who already have Russell Wilson and Justin Fields on their roster, are focused on refining their current system rather than making a blockbuster move for another high-profile QB. Tomlin’s response makes it clear—no matter how much Prescott wants to be part of the Steelers, it’s simply not a realistic scenario.

Despite the rejection, Prescott remains hopeful that something could change in the near future. He has reportedly been telling close friends that Pittsburgh would be the perfect place to reinvent himself, away from the immense pressure and expectations in Dallas. But with the Steelers committed to their current quarterbacks, the chances of Prescott landing in Pittsburgh seem slim to none.

For now, it appears that Prescott will have to either stick it out with the Cowboys or explore other teams that might actually be interested in his services. But one thing is certain—no matter how much he may beg, the Steelers aren’t picking up the phone.
