Trevor Lawrence became the protagonist of a wild NFL rental on Thursday. The Jacksonville Jaguars have put an end to speculation about their quarterback.
Ryan Burr from the “Big Ten Network” caused a lot of vertebrae when he claimed that the Pittsburgh Steelers because of Trevor Lawrence both Jaguars would have requested. According to his statement, this information comes “first-hand from the Jags organization”.
In Jacksonville you rejected this rumor on the same day. A team-internal source confirmed that “ESPN” reporter Michael Dirocco confirmed that “no chance” in relation to a Lawrence deal was and that the entire idea was “ridiculous” anyway.
In fact, the Steelers are looking for a solution for their QB problem. In the past season Russell Wilson and Justin Fields the position as starter shared. However, the duo was only bound to the organization from Pennsylvania for 12 months.
In his part, Lawrence only signed a $ 275 million five -year contract with the JAGs in the previous summer. In the following season, the Signal Caller then remained behind the expectations. He only led his team to two wins in ten games and threw only eleven touchdowns (with seven interceptions).
NFL: Jaguars build on Trevor Lawrence
However, those responsible in Jacksonville don’t want to know anything about a quarterback debate, as Owner Shahid Khan assured when he presented Liam Coen as a new head coach in the previous month. “Our commitment to Trevor is known and we believe in him,” said the 74-year-old at the time.
Coen himself also confirmed that he sees Lawrence as an essential part of his new team.
“How do we do Trevor Lawrence and this offense as dynamic and explosive as possible? We have to build it around it, we have to align every part of it to improve and it will be part of this process,” said the Jaguars HC. “He deserves this right. I can no longer respect his hardness, his mentality and work morality than I already do from a distance. It will be all about Trevor.”
