Steelers Rumored to Target Justin Fields After Kenny Pickett’s Departure

2 min read

In an eventful turn of events for the Pittsburgh Steelers, they bid farewell to Kenny Pickett and are now reportedly eyeing quarterback Justin Fields.

After a flurry of free agent introductions, including QB Russell Wilson, the Steelers made the surprising decision to part ways with Kenny Pickett.

This sudden move has once again thrust them into the conversation for Justin Fields, who was previously thought to have limited options in the quarterback market.

Before Pickett’s trade to Philadelphia, the Steelers appeared to be out of contention after signing Russell Wilson. However, with Wilson on a one-year deal and Pickett’s departure leaving Pittsburgh with just one quarterback under contract for 2024, the situation has changed.

Bringing in Fields as a backup to Wilson could prove to be a strategic move. It would provide Fields with valuable development time and the opportunity to potentially take over in 2025 when Wilson’s contract expires.

While it’s all speculation at this point, the consistent links between Fields and Pittsburgh, as suggested by analysts like Adam Schefter, lend credence to the rumours.
