Steelers Face Uncertainty as Justin Fields Expected to Test Free Agency

Pittsburgh risks losing Fields to competing teams while considering limited quarterback alternatives.

Justin Fields, seen as the Steelers' preferred quarterback for 2025, is reportedly set to explore free agency, leaving Pittsburgh's plans uncertain.
The New York Jets and other franchises are emerging as potential suitors for Fields, who is seeking a clear path to a starting role.
The Steelers have also maintained contact with Russell Wilson, who started 11 games for Pittsburgh in 2024, as a backup option if Fields departs.
Pittsburgh's limited quarterback prospects in the draft and free agency complicate their ability to secure a long-term solution at the position.
With free agency negotiations opening in days, the Steelers must decide whether to wait on Fields or pursue other options, risking further instability.
