Sounds Like Justin Fields Is Finally Getting Some Good News

Justin Fields doesn’t appear to be getting the legitimate chance to compete for the Pittsburgh Steelers starting job he probably expected. Every indicator from team insiders says Russell Wilson will hold the job, and nothing short of an injury or complete implosion will change that. Fields is the primary backup. This is a problem from his perspective because the Steelers have no plans to pick up his fifth-year option. That means he will be a free agent in 2025, and no team will pay him big money if he doesn’t play this season.
