When the Pittsburgh Steelers released veteran backup quarterback Landry Jones before the start of the 2018 season, the move was met by consternation by many within the local media. But as Jones failed to impress at tryout after tryout, it became clear Pittsburgh had made the right decision after all.
Ultimately, the Jacksonville Jaguars were the only team willing to sign him, coincidentally right around the time they were due to face the Steelers. Released by the Jaguars the day after they lost to Pittsburgh, a two week stay with Jacksonville was the only time he spent on an NFL roster during the regular season last year.
