Exciting trade buzz doesn’t last forever—or more than a day it would seem.
The Steelers were rumored to have been in contact with the Jacksonville Jaguars in regards to a potential trade for QB Trevor Lawrence. However, Steelers writer Mark Kaboly shut it down just as fast as it started.
Kaboly argued that not only did the Pittsburgh Steelers not inquire on Lawrence’s availability, the team has completely zero interest in bringing the former first overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft to the Steel City.
The Steelers in no way imaginable inquired about trading for Trevor Lawrence and have no interest in even reaching out to the Jaguars about acquiring Lawrence, according to a source.

In 2024, Lawrence showcased arguably his worst season since his disappointing rookie year in 2021 which saw him throw 17 INTs and just 12 TDs. Four seasons later, in 2024, Lawrence struggled mightily as well—throwing just 11 TDs and seven INTs in 10 games.
With that in mind, perhaps fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers may have some peace of mind knowing Kaboly so adamantly denied these trade inquires took place.
