Liam Cohen is emphatically shutting the door on any rumors in regards to the Jaguars not being absolutely dedicated to Trevor Lawrence.
“He’s our guy,” Coen, the brand new Jacksonville coach, advised reporters Tuesday on the scouting mix in Indianapolis, as reported by NFL Community. “He’s the franchise.”
Lawrence’s standing in Jacksonville turned a subject after the workforce fizzled out in 2024, resulting in former Tremendous Bowl-winning coach Doug Pederson getting the boot.
The quarterback didn’t assist issues along with his play, throwing simply 11 touchdowns in opposition to seven interceptions and tallying 2,045 yards earlier than struggling a season-ending damage.
The rumor mill then actually began spinning when the Steelers reportedly reached out to the Jaguars to inquire about Lawrence, though some shops rebutted that report.
A Jaguars supply rapidly shot down the “ridiculous” thought of buying and selling Lawrence, telling ESPN there was “no chance” the previous Clemson star could be moved.
Lawrence even had his agent name ESPN’s Adam Schefter to be taught if the Steelers actually had curiosity in him and obtained assurance the Jaguars didn’t plan to ship him out of city.
“You kind of think, I have a no-trade clause in my contract. I would know about it if I was getting traded or if that was something that was going to happen,” Lawrence mentioned lately on “Up and Adams.”
“I’d must be on board with it, which I’m not. I’m joyful right here in Jacksonville. We need to win a Tremendous Bowl right here and I feel we will do this.
“My agent reached out to Adam Schefter and was just like, ‘Hey, you hear anything about this?’ (Coach) Liam (Coen) texted me the day after it came out and said ‘I shouldn’t even have to say this, but that’s not coming from us.’ He didn’t even have to send that. There was no doubt on my side.”
With Lawrence entrenched below heart, the Jaguars hope Lawrence can lead a rebound below a brand new head coach in a comfortable division.
Coen advised reporters Tuesday that he desires Lawrence to present “as much input as he can handle” and plans to funnel the passing assault by way of first-year phenom Brian Thomas Jr.
