BREAKING: Why the Pittsburgh Steelers Should Target Justin Fields…
This offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been connected to several quarterbacks, including Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, and Justin Fields. Although it is unclear whose quarterback they would target, former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum stressed that there should be no discussion.
Justin Fields is the only sensible option for the Steelers, according to the former general manager of the New York Jets.
It is unclear how long the Steelers’ commitment to Kenny Pickett will endure. It has been stated by Mike Tomlin that he hopes to provide their incumbent quarterback with some competition. And Fields makes the most sense if they can’t find a worthy quarterback in the draft.
In addition to his youth, Fields possesses more than enough talent to challenge Pickett for the starting quarterback position. Although Wilson and Cousins are two more established quarterbacks, they are not really Pittsburgh’s long-term possibilities.
Should Fields defeat Pickett, Tannenbaum contended, he could be a quarterback the Steelers base their future plans around.
“If I were Mike Tomlin, I would be considering the bigger picture, and as you have stated on the air several times, Justin Fields is younger than Kenny Pickett. When asked which player the Steelers should select if Fields and Cousins are both available, Tannenbaum responded, “You can get him for two years, roughly $28 million.”
After three inconsistent seasons and difficult seasons with the Bears, Fields could definitely need a change of scenery. He needs to play in a reputable programme like the Steelers under the guidance of an incredible coach like Tomlin in order to bring his career back to life.
The 24 year old quarterback has a lot of upside for the Steelers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to pursue Justin Fields or go a different way is now the sole unanswered question.
As previously established, they also have Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins as options. When Wilson leaves the Denver Broncos this offseason, the Steelers are listed as the favourites to sign him.
In addition, there is the NFL Draft. The Steelers, who have the 20th pick in the 2024 rookie draft, may decide to select a quarterback there as well. Michael Penix Jr., a great player for the Washington Huskies, has been linked to them.
Until then, supporters are confined to waiting to watch how the Steelers handle their quarterback problem. Indeed, a lot of people will be observing them.
