The sudden elimination of the Pittsburgh Steelers last NFL season started to raise questions, mainly about whether the quarterback position was well occupied by Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Because of this, many began to link Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence as a potential option to join Mike Tomlinās team.
No matter how tempting the offer to join the Steelers may sound, it was Lawrence himself who refuted any speculation about a potential trade to Pittsburgh, stating that he aims to take Jacksonville far this season.
āThatās funny. You know, I didnāt really see anything. My agent texted me and ā¦ said, āHey, this is a report that is out there. I donāt think thereās anything to it, but Iāll check into it,'ā Lawrence stated on Up & Adams Show.
āSo I saw it, and itās funny though. Like, when he sent it to me, I was like, I wouldnāt say your heart drops, but youāre kind of like, what? And then Iām thinking about how I canāt even get ā I have a no-trade clause in my contract, so I would know about it if I was getting traded, or if that was something that was gonna happen, you know, Iād have to be on board with it. Which Iām not.
Trevor Lawrence, quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars
āIām happy here in Jacksonville. I plan on, you know, we want to win a Super Bowl here, and I think we can do that. And I donāt want to leave Jacksonville. So Iām happy here, obviously not going to Pittsburgh,ā he concluded.

With his starting position confirmed in Jacksonville, Lawrence made sure to state that he will not be leaving the franchise: āLike I said, we love Jacksonville.
