Is Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence Heading to Steelers? He Clears Up Trade Rumors
By Movieguide® Contributor
As the NFL offseason kicked off, several rumors floated through the organization that Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence might be traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
While on an episode of the Up & ADAMS show, Lawrence addressed those rumors and declared his loyalty to Jacksonville.
“That’s funny. You know, I didn’t really see anything. My agent texted me and…said, ‘Hey, this is a report that is out there. I don’t think there’s anything to it, but I’ll check into it,'” Lawrence told show host, Kay Adams. “So I saw it, and it’s funny though. Like, when he sent it to me, I was like, I wouldn’t say your heart drops, but you’re kind of like, what?”
“I have a no-trade clause in my contract,” the quarterback explained. “I would know about it if I was getting traded or if that was something that was going to happen. I would have to be on board with it, which I’m not. I’m happy here in Jacksonville. We want to win a Super Bowl here, and I think we can do that, and I don’t want to leave Jacksonville. I’m happy here, obviously. Not going to Pittsburgh.”

According to Sports Illustrated, Lawrence signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars through the 2030 season. The contract does include “a no-trade clause, meaning he’d have to have given the green light to the Jaguars to deal him to the Steelers, something he has no intention of doing.”
The quarterback revealed that the new head coach for the Jaguars, Liam Coen, texted Lawrence and told him, “Shouldn’t even have to say this, but that’s not coming from us.”
Lawrence said, “I was like, Yeah, I figured. So we’re all good. He didn’t even have to send that. There was no doubt on my side.”
