After a cold trade market in 2024, Justin Fields could have plenty of suitors come 2025. A pending free agent and current backup to Russell Wilson, Fields’ next NFL start might come with his next NFL team. If Wilson keeps playing well and secures a long-term deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, something that’s not a given but trending toward occurring, Fields will likely explore the chance to start elsewhere. That “elsewhere” could be Justin Fields with the Carolina Panthers.
According to Panthers beat writer Joseph Person, he can see Fields being brought in this offseason to, at the least, serve as a stopgap for a blue-chip rookie.
