Trevor Lawrence killed the idea that he could be exchanged from Jacksonville to Pittsburgh, saying he was “happy” for the Jaguars.
Lawrence was struggling last season, and after Jacksonville hired a new coach to Liam Coen (and licensed the director general Trent Baalke) – it was reported that the Steelers learned about the quarterrier in the middle of the upheavals of its organization.
On Monday, however, he firmly engaged in the jags in the future.
“I have a non-exchange clause in my contract, so I would know if I was exchanged or if it was something that was going to happen. I should be on board with that – which I am not. I’m happy here in Jacksonville ” he said on Up & Adams.
“I plan – we want to win a super bowl here, and I think we can do it. And I don’t want to leave Jacksonville. So, I’m happy here, of course. I don’t go to Pittsburgh.
The Jaguars have not hired a replacement for Baalke since the dismissal on January 22, and Lawrence added in his interview with Kay Adams that her agent in fact contacted Adam Schefter of ESPN concerning the commercial rumor.

“And Liam (Coen) sent me a text, in fact, I suppose that the day after its release, and Liam said:” I shouldn’t even have to say it, but that does not come to us. “And I said to myself:” Yeah, I said to myself. “
“So we are all good. He didn’t even have to send this, there was no doubt on my side.
Lawrence’s comments come after Michael Dirocco d’Espn reported that there was “no chance” that the Jaguars would exchange Lawrence, citing an anonymous team source.
The Steelers used Russell Wilson (who missed the first six games with injury) and Justin Fields in the quarter last season, and the pair played well enough to lead Pittsburgh to a record of 10-7 and to series .
But with Wilson under the center, the team’s offensive failed in the section, and he and Fields are now free agents.
Lawrence, on the other hand, is under contract with Jacksonville until 2030 after signing an extension of $ 275 million over five years last year.
