Jacksonville Jaguars QB clears the air after trade rumors swirl.
Amid circulating reports suggesting the Pittsburgh Steelers were interested in acquiring Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Lawrence made it clear that he isn’t going anywhere. Speaking on the Up & Adams show, the 25-year-old addressed the trade rumors, firmly stating, “I’m not going to Pittsburgh.” Lawrence also reassured fans that he’s happy in Jacksonville, expressing his desire to win a Super Bowl there.
Unfounded Rumors
Though rumors claimed the Steelers had inquired about Lawrence, the Jaguars star emphasized that such speculation is baseless. He pointed out that, with his no-trade clause and a contract extension, there was no real possibility of a trade.
Lawrence’s strong commitment to Jacksonville stands, despite a less-than-ideal 2024 season, which saw him miss games due to injury. His recent five-year, $275 million extension only adds to his long-term status in Jacksonville.
Steelers Still in Search of a Franchise QB
With Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement, the Steelers have struggled to find a consistent leader at quarterback. Despite the ongoing search, it seems Lawrence is firmly off the market. As the offseason approaches, Pittsburgh will likely continue its hunt for their next franchise quarterback elsewhere.
As Lawrence mentioned, “I’m happy here in Jacksonville” and is focused on winning with the Jaguars, dispelling any notion of moving to Pittsburgh.
