Last offseason when the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran QB Russell Wilson to a one-year deal in free agency and then traded for young quarterback Justin Fields just a few days later from the Chicago Bears, the Steelers reshaped the QB room in a hurry under GM Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin.
The belief was that coming out of the 2024 season, the picture for the Steelers at the most important position in sports would be clearer, whether that was Wilson grabbing hold of the job and running with it, solidifying it for a few years moving forward, or that Fields would take a major step forward and force the Steelers’ hands of being the guy to build around.
