Justin Fields Will Have More Suitors Than Russell Wilson, Batko Believes, Market ‘Artificially Reinflated’ From The Bench

The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly have yet to choose between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, with reports running rampant both ways. There are arguments for and against either candidate—and not just for Pittsburgh.

While people expect Russell Wilson to command a larger salary, the belief appears to be that Justin Fields, the younger player with higher upside, could actually attract more suitors. That’s how Steelers beat writer Brian Batko assesses the situation, who, like most, favors re-signing Fields.

“I think he’ll have more suitors based on the way his stint as a starter ended six games in”, Batko said of Fields on 93.
