Whaley On Russell Wilson, Justin Fields: Steelers ‘Don’t Have A QB Right Now’

It’s not very often you see an NFL team completely scrap its quarterback room in one offseason. Yet that’s exactly what the Pittsburgh Steelers did in 2024. They cut Mitch Trubisky, they didn’t re-sign Mason Rudolph, and they traded Kenny Pickett. They signed Russell Wilson, traded for Justin Fields, and then filled out the room by signing Kyle Allen and John Rhys Plumlee.

That leaves the Steelers with Wilson and Fields competing for the starting job. Just how much of a competition it will be is up for debate, but it’s hard to imagine the Steelers not giving Fields any sort of a chance to prove himself.
