Steelers pending free agent QB Justin Fields will start next season—for the New York Jets, according to Zack Rosenblatt. That is the prediction he made recently as the Jets beat writer for The Athletic, one hopes with some degree of foreknowledge about the plausibility of such a claim.
In an article attempting to piece together how each quarterback-needy team will ultimately settle, Rosenblatt predicted a combination of Fields and Tyrod Taylor for the team he covers. And the Steelers didn’t even wind up with Russell Wilson—you’ll hate his prediction even more. But he admits it was a close call between Fields landing with the Jets or Steelers.
