Coming over to the Pittsburgh Steelers via trade, it’s been clear to quarterback Justin Fields that he is the backup to Russell Wilson entering the 2024 season, so there should be no confusion or frustration there whatsoever.
But, that doesn’t mean Fields might not see the field at all in 2024 in the Black and Gold. At least, that wouldn’t be the case if Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio has his way.
Reacting to the Fields trade to the Steelers for a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Florio made the case for the Steelers to get Fields on the field with Wilson, similarly to how Pittsburgh once used former quarterback Kordell Stewart during the 1995 and 1996 seasons.
