A local media outlet in Pittsburgh reported that the Steelers were looking into acquiring Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, offering two draft picks in exchange. Later in the day, NFL Media called the rumors "fake" and said that the Steelers never explored it.

Last week, a rumor popped up that Pittsburgh had inquired about potentially trading for Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence addressed the report that the Pittsburgh Steelers inquired about trading for him.

The Jaguars quarterback cleared the air after rumors linked him with a potential move to the Steelers in the offseason.

The Jaguars quarterback was the subject of a reported trade request by the quarterback-needy Steelers last week.

Speculation had been out there about the Jaguars potentially trading him to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero later reported on "The Rich Eisen Show" that the rumor was fake. That was still enough to get Lawrence's attention, who addressed the situation during an appearance on the "Up & Adams" show on Monday.

Well, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Trevor Lawrence trade rumors lasted all of five hours before they were put down. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network said the Lawrence trade rumors are completely ‘fake’ and the Steelers never even seriously inquired about it.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence shot down a trade rumor that made the rounds last week about the Pittsburgh Steelers looking to deal for him. Lawrence made it clear on Monday’s “Up & Adams” show that he has no interest in leaving Jacksonville.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were connected to Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence as a trade target this week. It won't happen, but here's how it would look.

Lawrence said neither he nor his agent knew where the rumor originated.

"This directly from the horses mouth in the Jags organization," Burr posted on Feb. 13.
