On Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers bid farewell to quarterback Mitch Trubisky, sparking increased speculation about the potential acquisition of Justin Fields.
According to an NFL Insider, the Steelers are actively seeking a quarterback, with possibilities including Ryan Tannehill, Russell Wilson, or Justin Fields. The insider noted that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin holds a strong interest in Fields.
The shifting odds this week suggest a notable surge in Pittsburgh’s chances of acquiring Fields, moving from +1600 to -125. Consequently, Fields’ current team, the Chicago Bears, is no longer the frontrunner for his services, slipping from +100 to +200.
Fields is currently in the last year of his four-year, $18.9 million rookie contract. The Chicago Bears, holding the top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft in April, are facing a decision amid speculation. Meanwhile, USC’s Caleb Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, is the overwhelming -1200 favorite to be the top pick in the draft.
