According to reports, the Pittsburgh Steelers have hired quarterback Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears and signed Russell Wilson, the Denver Broncos Super Bowl winner.
According to sources, the Bears have traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Steelers. A fresh quarterback joining the fray.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports, “Sources say the #Bears are trading quarterback Justin Fields to the #Steelers.” A fresh quarterback joining the fray.
Wilson will begin his campaign with the Steelers with the 2024 season, and also shared in one of his posts on Platform X, formerly Twitter, that he is elevated to join Fields in Pittsburgh.
Both Wilson and Fields do not have any contracts extending after 2024 and will have this year to show their excellence with the Steelers squad. If Wilson struggles early in the season, they will have Fields as their next option.
“Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was upfront with Justin Fields—telling him that Russell Wilson is the starter and Fields will work from there,” according to Albert Breer. Fields has expressed his excitement for the fresh start to others.
That didn’t hurt that Tomlin has extensive ties to Ohio State.
During his final season with the Broncos, Wilson caught eight interceptions in fifteen games while completing 66.4 percent of his passes for 3,070 yards and 26 touchdowns. According to BR, Fields completed 61.4 percent of his throws for 2,562 yards last season, including 16 touchdowns. In thirteen games, he recorded nine interceptions.
