Former Patriots Starter Named Trade Candidate After 2025 Season

3. Pittsburgh Steelers

This trade will be all dependent on whether or not veteran Aaron Rodgers will retire after the 2025 campaign. Either way, the Steelers need a long-term answer at quarterback. Pittsburgh embraced an older roster this past offseason, but it’s time for head coach Mike Tomlin to rebuild. Jones joining Tomlin in Pittsburgh while drafting a quarterback might give them some proper competition, unlike between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields a season ago.
