Daniel Jones becomes wild card in Steelers’ muddled quarterback chase
NY Post
One team’s trash is another’s treasure, and the Steelers could go dumpster diving in their search for their 2025 quarterback.
Pittsburgh radio host Andrew Fillipponi reported Tuesday that the Steelers are interested in ex-Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and detailed why the former first-round pick could be a good in the Steel City.
“There’s interest in former Giants QB Daniel Jones inside the Steelers organization,” Fillipponi said on X. “Quote: ‘[The Steelers] could do a lot worse than Jones.’ With the belief he actually is a good fit for Arthur Smith’s offense. And Mike Tomlin’s preference for a mobile quarterback.”
Jones ran the ball 227 times over the past three years (fifth-most among quarterbacks) and, in theory, is a fit for teams that are looking for a dual-threat option.
Pittsburgh could use Jones similar to how it employed Justin Fields, a former first-round pick quarterback who started six games for the Steelers last season before they pivoted to Russell Wilson.
Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s scheme, which is an extension of Matt Lafleur’s system after having served under him in Tennessee and Green Bay, produced solid numbers from both Fields and Wilson.
Tyrod Taylor knows the perils of being a dual-threat quarterback, and he knows what it’s like for Jaxson Dart to be learning when to take a hit and when to avoid one.
