PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers made a decision on Broderick Jones that tells you everything. After three years of back-and-forth play, the Steelers decided to decline Jones's fifth-year option. What it means is that 2026 will be the final year of Jones's rookie contract before hitting free agency. Normally, that would leave the door open for another deal after the year, as the team just didn't want to tie themselves to their former first-round pick for another guaranteed season. In this instance, it's clear they're ready to move on. The Steelers haven't known when Jones will be ready for the season all offseason . After missing the final portion of 2025 with a neck injury, Jones underwent surgery and his return timeline remains foggy. The team is hopeful he'll be ready before the start of the season, but it's nothing close to a guarantee that he will be. If he's not, the team is prepared to let Dylan Cook compete for the starting job. With who?…
