- Steelers linked to potential trade partner for Broderick Jones
Trade rumors are still flying in the slowest month of the offseason, as the Pittsburgh Steelers have been linked to a potential suitor for 2023 first-round offensive tackle Broderick Jones .
According to Jacob Punturi of Sports Illustrated, the Steelers could have a trade partner for Jones in the Los Angeles Rams , given their aggressive pursuit of recent players.

"One organization stands out as a possible trade partner for the polarizing tackle, and that is the Los Angeles Rams ," Punturi wrote. "The most aggressive team in the NFL made their defense even more fearsome by acquiring cornerback Trent McDuffie and superstar edge rusher Myles Garrett .
On the offensive side, however, the offensive line is in a less confident spot. Four of their starting linemen are entering a contract year, and the only other one under contract beyond 2026 is facing a possible second suspension due to a violation of the NFL's conduct policy. The Rams have shown that they are willing to pony up for a player they need, and with questions at offensive line, LA might need another lineman."
Punturi also explained that Jones is the odd man out of an offensive tackle group featuring Troy Fautanu at left tackle and Dylan Cook competing with first-round rookie Max Iheanachor for the starting right tackle position.
Jones has not really lived up to his first-round draft status through his first three years in the league, and while he showed promise in 2025, the Steelers may be wise to cut their losses via a trade as soon as he's healthy.
