Tomlin Open To Retaining, Starting Justin Fields In 2025

At the top of the Pittsburgh Steelers agenda for the 2025 offseason is determining who will be their starting quarterback. While those discussions are ongoing and everything is on the table going forward, Mike Tomlin left the door open for tabbing Justin Fields as the Steelers’ starter for next season. During his year-end press conference, Tomlin praised Fields’ progression and kept the possibility of re-signing and starting Fields open.

“Certainly,” Tomlin said via the team’s YouTube channel when asked if moving forward with Fields was being considered, especially if Russell Wilson does not return.

Fields began 2024 as the Steelers’ starter after Wilson was plagued by summer calf injuries.
