š CBS REPORT: $95M QB Daniel Jones Becomes Wild Card in Steelersā Muddled Quarterback Chase ā CONFIRMED š”ā«
According to a breaking CBS Sports report, Daniel Jones, the embattled New York Giants quarterback with a $95 million contract, has suddenly emerged as a surprise wild card in the Pittsburgh Steelersā ongoing quarterback shuffle.
With the Steelers entering the 2025 season facing uncertainty under center, insiders confirm that Jones is being evaluated as a potential trade or restructure candidate, especially amid growing concerns over the teamās current QB options and offensive inconsistency.
Jones, 27, signed a four-year, $160 million contract in 2023 ā $95 million of which was guaranteed. After an injury-plagued and inconsistent run with the Giants, speculation about his long-term future in New York has intensified. CBS insiders report that Pittsburghās front office has held internal discussions about acquiring Jones as a potential low-risk, high-upside solution if the Giants decide to cut ties or restructure via trade.
šļø āDaniel Jones isnāt a perfect quarterback,ā said one CBS analyst, ābut he has playoff experience, mobility, and leadership traits that could thrive in a Mike Tomlin system ā especially behind a stronger offensive line.ā
The Steelersā current QB room includes Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, and Russell Wilson ā none of whom have fully cemented themselves as the clear long-term starter. Jonesā arrival would further complicate the picture, but it may also provide the spark the franchise is looking for.
Steelers fans are divided. Some welcome the potential change, citing Jonesā dual-threat potential, while others view it as another gamble in a string of QB instability.
šŗ With preseason looming, the Steelersā next move could shake up the AFC North.
