Quietly, Steelers have big decision to make with Jones' positioning

Jan 23, 2024

The two obvious and most important dominos that will topple over in this offseason for the Steelers is the hiring of a new offensive coordinator and the determination of who will compete with Kenny Pickett to be the team's starting quarterback by the time Week 1 of the 2024 season arrives.

But, another major decision will have to be made on the positioning of a key piece to that offense, regardless of who the coordinator and quarterback will be.

The Steelers traded up to select Broderick Jones 14th overall in last year's draft. The Georgia left tackle competed with Dan Moore Jr. for the starting job in training camp and lost the competition, then became the Steelers' weekly starting right tackle after Chukwuma Okorafor was benched against the Jaguars Oct. 29.

That is not how Jones' story will unfold in 2024. Jones blossomed as a rookie and proved his worth as a first-round pick and as a starter for the longterm. Now, it's up to Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin to determine what to do with their franchise piece on the offensive line. Will they keep hm on the right side, or could he move back to his natural left tackle spot?
