The Pittsburgh Steelers have two very capable quarterbacks.
Pittsburgh has both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields on the roster and either could lead a National Football League franchise and do a good job. Fields was 4-2 in the Steelers’ first six games of the season and Wilson is 4-0 since taking over the job. Pittsburgh won’t be able to keep both for the long-term sadly, though.
At this point, Fields seems like the most likely to go and Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox suggested the New York Giants as a fit to replace Daniel Jones.
“The 25-year-old still isn’t a finished product, but he’s shown growth as a passer and remains an elite scrambler,” Knox said. “A handful of NFL general managers—possibly including Joe Schoen—will likely view Fields as a more enticing option than what the 2025 draft class has to offer.
“The question will be whether the Ohio State product can continue developing as a decision-maker and pocket passer. If the Giants believe that the best is yet to come with Fields, he’d be a strong fit. Jones was at his best when Daboll utilized his dual-threat ability. Fields is a more explosive runner than Jones and may still carry a higher ceiling as a passer.”

Fields has a bright future whether it is with the Steelers or not. The Giants clearly need to add a quarterback into the mix. Fields certainly could make sense as he will be one of the top options available after the season.
