The Pittsburgh Steelers hope to have one of their 2024 starting quarterbacks re-signed for 2025 in the coming weeks. No matter if it’s Russell Wilson or Justin Fields, that individual will have the leg up on taking the first snap this September. Sitting down with WTAE’s Ashley Liotus, owner Art Rooney II walked through the team’s quarterback timeline and outlook.

“We’ll be talking to Justin and his representative as well as Russell and his representative here soon,” Rooney told Liotus.” It’s one of those things where the sooner the better in terms of finalizing something with one of them.
