Should Steelers Even Want A Justin Fields Contract Extension?

Should the Steelers even want a Justin Fields contract extension before the regular season?

The Pittsburgh Steelers only have one quarterback under contract beyond 2024 in rookie free agent John Rhys Plumlee. One can debate whether he is even a quarterback, I suppose. But they also added Russell Wilson and Justin Fields—who are free agents in 2025.

While Wilson is playing for the minimum due to offset language in his previous contract, Justin Fields has no encumbrances. He can sign an extension at any point, but many have questioned why he would want to. I think it’s also fair to question if the Steelers should want to.
