There is a pivotal decision coming up for the Pittsburgh Steelers in just a few months. Before free agency starts, they are going to likely extend one of either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. How they handle that situation will dictate the direction of the franchise.
Invest in the 35-year-old Wilson, and they will obviously be in win-now mode for the foreseeable future. Invest in Fields, who is just 25 years old, and they have plenty of options on how to move forward with their aging, and very expensive defense.
“That’s gonna depend on what happens the rest of the way,” said ESPN insider Dan Graziano via UnSportsmanLike.
