The Jacksonville jaguars challenge a report that they have received an investigation into the quarter-Arrière Trevor Lawrence trade, qualifying the notion of “ridiculous”.
A report circulated earlier Thursday that the Pittsburgh steelers questioned the jaguars on Lawrence. Ryan Burr of Big Ten Network reported that he had heard a person from the Jacksonville organization directly that the Steelers had inquired about an agreement.
However, the Jaguars said Michael Dirocco d’Espn that there was “no chance” that the team would exchange Lawrence. In addition, the journalist was informed that no conversation with the Steelers about a potential law of Lawrence took place.

Tom Pelisero from NFL Network then corroborated Dirocco reports on “The Rich Eisen Show”, saying that Rumors were “false” And the Steelers have never made this call.
Lawrence, 25, appeared in just 10 games for the Jaguars last season after undergoing end -of -season surgery to repair the AC joint in her left shoulder (not launched). The decision occurred after the quarterrier was eliminated from the defeat of 23-20 of Jacksonville against the Texans of Houston during the week 13, suffering from a concussion on a blow by Azeez al-Shaair who aroused a suspension of three games.
The overall choice n ° 1 in the NFL 2021 draftLawrence launched for 2,045 yards, 11 affected and seven interceptions while filling 60.6% of its passes last season. He signed a contract extension of $ 275 million over five years during the previous off -season, corresponding to the highest average annual salary in the history of the NFL. In addition, his contract includes a clause without exchange.
Shortly after the new head coach Liam Coen was hired by the jaguars, he spoke of working with Lawrence in the coming seasons.
“This league still concerns the score,” Coen told Jacksonville journalist Brett Martineau. “These are development points and quarter-arre points. It’s so much about Trevor. How to facilitate our work? It is the future of our organization. He wants responsibility, but we have to help him. »»
Steelers must decide to bring Russell Wilson or Justin Fields QB back or pursue an option as a free agent like Aaron Rodgers, who does not go to New York Jets. In particular, the team has never concluded the type of transaction, in terms of salaries and exchange of high recovery choice, which would be required to obtain Lawrence.
In other words, if it was even available, and the jaguars say that it is not.
