With the release of cornerback Jack Jones by the Las Vegas Raiders, discussions have emerged about whether the Pittsburgh Steelers should pursue him to bolster their secondary. Despite the intrigue surrounding Jones, his disappointing performance during his time in Las Vegas raises significant concerns.

In 2022, Jones led the league by allowing ten touchdown passes and a dismal passer rating of 115.8 when targeted. These stats are alarming for a team looking to improve its defensive prowess. The Steelers, already dealing with a 34-year-old veteran in Darius Slay and a promising but inconsistent Joey Porter Jr., should be cautious. Adding a player with such a troubled track record may not only fail to enhance their defense but could also negatively impact team morale.
