But for real though, to answer the initial question.. I think Fields did avg in Pittsburgh, but Wilson came in and did so much better. Fields isn’t due a big payday anywhere because he hasn’t really done anything yet.. maybe send him somewhere with talent like his and maybe he could compete for the starting job or be a serviceable back up.

And by talents like his, I could see him compete for the starting job with the Colts. He could be a fun back up with the Ravens. Saints, heck even the Browns.

I haven't read a single post in this thread, just wanted to say it's funny that a Justin Fields thread has reached 17 pages even after he's been one year removed from the team

"the Steelers will have a number for Fields and if it exceeds their number they'll move back to Russ."
Steelers Will 'Move On To Plan B' If Justin Fields Exceeds Their Price, Kaboly Believes
Do the Steelers prefer Russell Wilson or Justin Fields at quarterback? At this point, it seems to depend on who you ask, and on what day. We are still a few weeks out from free agency, but they would like to have something done by then. Nothing happens in a vacuum, though, so they have […]steelersdepot.com
Can't copy & paste but Steelers beat reporter Mark Kaloby thinks the Steelers will have a number for Fields and if it exceeds their number they'll move back to Russ. Thinks it'll be 2 years - $25/30M for Fields.
Dunno if that's a good enough offer for him to forgo FA especially if there's a team or two out there that would tailor their offense fully to him. Hope the people posting about this at 3AM in the morning like absolute freaks can handle this reporting.
Maybe those awake at 3 am can decipher that one.

Wouldn’t expect you or any of the other dumb ass Fields haters to be capable of deciphering that sentence from the Steelers beat reporter, so I will do it for you.
The Steelers really want Fields and prefer that Justin Fields signs a multi-year contract with them, but just in case Justin goes elsewhere for more money than they are prepared to pay him, they will move on to Russell Wilson as plan B.

I can decipher well written English, and I can tolerate the incredibly poor writing on a forum where people constantly refer to someone by name and then later use the word “he” while they’re referring to someone completely different.
But “the Steelers hoping to beat their number” is really a poorly written sentence even if you do wanna try to fucking find a way to defend Justin Fields over it

A number of dollars in the contract. If Fields demands more than they want to spend for him, they'll turn to Russ and Fields will hit the open market.
You can click the article and it for yourself but seeing how you didn't click the TL fake news article that you quoted last week - that's probably too much for you.
I think the Jets interest is real on his end. Yes the Steelers are a top tier org and the Jets are the Jets - but the number one player he would be relying on in Pittsburgh is George Pickens and if I were him - I'd prefer dealing with Garrett Wilson ten times outta ten.

It was the old Cliff Stein negotiating strategy....when Jay Cutler says he will sign for $100M, Cliff Stein says "No, you don't want to do that. You want to sign for $126M, right?

I will quickly bite. JFields had 5 touchdowns passing, and 5 touchdowns rushing = 10 TD's ....... and only 1 INT, and only 1 fumble. Moreover, his completion % was good.... better than CW's and quite a few other name brand QB's. He did it all with a sub-par Oline and sub-par receiving core. He was also consistently beating the blitz with his passes -- was a blitz killer! At just 25 years old, he was clearly showing growth.
Juxtapose a young guy, showing growth, maturing.... against a Super Bowl Champion waiting in the wings on a team with "win now" aspirations, and you can clearly see why the switch was made:
-- one guy is proving himself.... is showing growth.... but has never won a Super Bowl let alone a playoff game
-- the other guy has won a Super Bowl and you are hoping he can tap into that old magic and lead you to the promise land
The temptation of going to a proven Super Bowl winner was too much to ignore. Its not necessarily an indictment against the other guy (Fields) that the switch was made. Just about all teams in "win now" mode would have gone to the Super Bowl winner who will likely be a Hall of Famer.

I think its easier to just say "all nfl teams would play the guy they felt gave them the best chance to win" than the gibberish you just rattled off. Apparently Pittsburgh felt like that was russ. We'll probably have a better idea next year whether they were right or wrong.

Complexity my friend.... understand it. And no, not just the best chance to win. Fields was 4 and 2 - clearly winning. When I used the words "Super Bowl"...... I meant that! Tomlin was thinking he could rub his Tomlin magic off on Russ and catch lightning in a bottle with him and ride him all the way to the Bowl. He had to give him a clear runway to show what he could do. Russ failed miserably after some initial success.
It became clear that Russ could no longer evade the rush like he used to/was taking back sacks - they saw what Russ has/experiment over. Russ will be back if they can't sign Fields. But right now, they saw Russ, gave him his chance/time to move on.

Looks like they do want mobility from their QB next season no matter what.

Seems the NY Jets noise is getting louder:
“It seems like the Wilson ship has sailed and he will be playing elsewhere in 2025, but Fields is one of the top names in terms of likely options for the Steelers. However, they won’t be the only team in his market. According to Jeremy Fowler, the New York Jets have an eye on Fields.
“They like the idea of a dual-threat quarterback,” Fowler said on SportsCenter. “I’m told Fields has looked at that roster [and] sees some intrigue, too.”
Fields had 10 total touchdowns to one interception in his six starts with the Steelers in 2024, going 4-2 in those games. If the Jets lure Fields away, the Steelers would need to act quickly to not be left without a legitimate quarterback for the 2025 season.”

The Steelers will have competition to bring back Justin Fields
