The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Russell Wilson to start last year and traded for Justin Fields for the future. At least, the potential future, anyway, even if it is a temporary one. Now a year later, the Steelers have to decide if that future is now. What they don’t have to decide is how long that lasts, but they need some answer. And whatever answer they come up with will require money or other resources.
Both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are pending unrestricted free agents. The Steelers signed Wilson to a one-year contract, and Fields had one year remaining on his rookie contract.
