The Pittsburgh Steelers need to solidify their starting quarterback this season. If Aaron Rodgers chooses to retire and doesn\u2019t return to Pittsburgh for another year, there\u2019s a chance it might look to trade for its starting quarterback.<\/p>\n
There are several options available<\/a> for the Steelers to consider in trades, but Bleacher Report\u2019s Moe Moton believes that Pittsburgh will pursue Mac Jones from the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cAlthough the 49ers should aim high for a return on a former first-rounder who\u2019s a capable starter in his prime, they may want to capitalize on Jones\u2019 market while he has some buzz, even if proposals don\u2019t include a Day 1 draft pick,\u201d Moton wrote on Saturday.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Pittsburgh Steelers might be one of the teams that inquired about Jones. They will likely have to pay a steep price for him, but the 27-year-old could be a solution that keeps them out of quarterback limbo for the foreseeable future.\u201d<\/p>\n Jones signed a two-year, $8.41 million contract last offseason with the 49ers and did a solid job when Brock Purdy went out with an injury.<\/p>\n The former first-round pick played in 11 games, starting eight, and threw for 2,151 yards and 13 touchdowns, making him an appealing option for the Steelers.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n More NFL: Three QBs Who Could Start For Steelers In Week 1<\/a><\/p>\n The post NFL Writer Predicts Steelers Trade For Former First-Round QB, Potentially Ending Aaron Rodgers\u2019 Era<\/a> appeared first on SportsNet Pittsburgh<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Steelers need to solidify their starting quarterback this season.
