The Pittsburgh Steelers knew they needed to improve at quarterback this offseason, but no one probably expected them to do such a good job for such little cost. They managed to sign Russell Wilson for pennies, and although he’s struggled the past few years, he immediately raises the Steelers’ floor and ceiling.
However, trading almost nothing for Justin Fields may have been their greatest move of the offseason, if he manages to correct some of his flaws. Fields could be the Steelers’ next franchise quarterback, and presents an opportunity for them to escape the cycle of mediocrity they’ve been stuck in.
