The Pittsburgh Steelers may have found the quarterback of the future.
It’s unclear what the Steelers will do in the short-term, but Justin Fields has shown enough that Pittsburgh should invest in him. Fields will be a free agent after the 2024 season end and Bleacher Report’s scouting department said a reunion with Fields should be the Steelers’ top priority.
“2025 Free Agency: (quarterback) Justin Fields, Pittsburgh Steelers,” Bleacher Report said. “This space is usually reserved for external free agents that teams could pursue, however, Justin Fields is starting to make it clear that he needs to be brought back next season. Fields has his flaws, but he’s shown a good grasp of Smith’s offense, and Smith has seemingly figured out how to accentuate Fields’ strengths.
“It’s been a mutually beneficial partnership, and it would make sense for the Steelers to at least re-sign the quarterback on a one-year contract as the starter.”
Pittsburgh has lost two straight games, but the Steelers still have been very good this season and have a chance to make it back to the postseason. Fields is just 25 years old and should be in consideration to be the Steelers’ quarterback for the foreseeable future. It’s far too early, but he has done everything right so far. Hopefully, the two sides can come together on a deal to continue their partnership next offseason.
