Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones's potential landing spots have been a topic of discussion this offseason, with rumors swirling about teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers showing interest. While the Steelers explored options like Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, and even inquired about Trevor Lawrence (though later refuted), Jones's name emerged as a potential fit for their offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's system.

This speculation, however, wasn't met with universal enthusiasm, particularly among Steelers fans who voiced their concerns on social media. Jones, a former first-round pick by the Giants in 2019, spent several seasons with the team, initially learning under Eli Manning. His tenure included one playoff appearance and a postseason victory before being released mid-2024. He subsequently joined the Minnesota Vikings.

Over his career, Jones has accumulated 14,582 passing yards, 70 touchdown passes, 2,179 rushing yards, and 15 rushing touchdowns. His time with the Vikings could be a stepping stone to a potential career resurgence, particularly if he lands with a team like the Steelers who see him as a viable quarterback option.
