The quarterback market is shaping up to be interesting, with Justin Fields drawin interest, particularly from the New York Jets. Here’s a breakdown of the situation:
Steelers’ Decision: Fields or Wilson?
Pittsburgh currently has both Fields and Wilson but will likely only retain one.
Fields’ age (26) and dual-threat ability make him an intriguing long-term option, whereas Wilson brings veteran experience but is on the back end of his career.
The Steelers reportedly lean toward keeping Fields, but that’s not set in stone.
Jets’ Interest in Fields
The Jets have moved on from Aaron Rodgers and need a new starter.
They like Fields’ athleticism, mobility, and potential upside.
If the Steelers don’t keep him, Fields could be a prime target for New York.
Potential Obstacles
The Steelers could decide to stick with Fields, leaving Wilson to explore other options.
If Fields hits free agency, the Jets will have competition from teams like the Giants, who are also exploring QB options.
Fields’ Career Outlook
He has shown flashes of brilliance but has struggled with consistency, decision-making, and injuries.
His rushing ability (2,509 career yards) is a major asset.
He would benefit from a system that maximizes his strengths—something the Jets may believe they can offer.
Final Take
If the Steelers let him go, Fields to the Jets makes a lot of sense.
If he stays in Pittsburgh, the Jets will have to pivot to other QB options.
Fields still has untapped potential, but his next destination will determine how much of it is realized.
It all comes down to whether the Steelers truly want to commit to him over Wilson.
