We made a little stir last month by suggesting that the Bears should call the 49ers about a possible trade for coach Kyle Shanahan. Meanwhile, the Bears have spun the dial on the telephone to call the Steelers about a possible trade for coach Mike Tomlin.Here's the next question.

We specifically mentioned the 49ers and Shanahan, the Ravens and John Harbaugh, and the Dolphins and Mike McDaniel. (In response to that, a coach from a different team reached out to ask why he wasn't mentioned.)In 2022, many chided the Commanders for calling every single team to see whether its starting quarterback is available in trade.
