The Pittsburgh Steelers passed on QB Justin Fields’ option, yet some believe they will work out a deal soon. If they don’t, then Fields can reach unrestricted free agency in March, but how can they entice him? Many have referenced the Green Bay Packers’ deal with Jordan Love, whom they drafted. Mark Kaboly doesn’t see it, as he wrote recently for The Athletic:
The Packers gave Jordan Love $13.5 million to keep him around another year, but they were more confident he was going to be their quarterback of the future than what the Steelers feel about Fields after 12 practices in shorts.
