OT: Justin Fields’ Destination Thread, Steelers and other teams reportedly want him to sign new multi-year contract

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I remember that. I was supposed to go but bailed at the last minute. My friends all took acid and somehow stole a dump truck outside of Athens when they got home that night. They parked the truck in the middle of the street and couldn’t figure out how to turn off the headlights so they smashed them out.

That might have been 1999.

Edit: it was 98

This one is picking up steam. Justin's bargaining position is getting stronger by the day. He is definitely going to get life changing/generational wealth type money.

Go get that bagJustin!..... go get it!!.... I aint mad at ya. ..... congrats to a good dude!
You worked your arse off Justin..... glad to see it all paying off for you.

Cue the ever so jealous crash out crew in 3, 2, 1..........................

Jets predicted to replace Aaron Rodgers with $18 million former first round QB​

The Jets could look to select a quarterback within the first few rounds of April's draft, but Jets Wire's Craig Moffett predicts the team will sign Pittsburgh Steelers signal-caller Justin Fields in free agency.

"He's the type of quarterback that can be had on a team friendly deal as there won't be many starting positions available. Add Tyrod Taylor as quality backup insurance and the quarterback room doesn't look as bleak as we may have thought," Moffett added.

Fields started the first six games of the 2024 campaign for the Steelers and played the most efficient football of his career, completing 65.8% of his passes with ten total touchdowns and just two turnovers with a 93.3 passer rating. The former Ohio State Buckeye showed a ton of growth last season and showcased why he deserves a second chance as a full-time starter.

Hope something like this happens and he shows he deserved it. A deal like that is still a placeholder type signing for a QB but he could rent with option to buy.

Me and a few buddies went. No taxis available, so we had to walk home afterwards which took awhile. Still a great time though. They can put on an insane show.

Seriously though. It’s not just about the money — although that is truly life changing money — but more than that, I am glad to see teams truly appreciating what he can become if he is FINALLY given proper coaching and a decent team around him.

Justin is a guy who played by the rules, never complained, has always been a great teammate and standup young man…. and now his time is arriving.

This is a win for the good guys.

I thought they were a local UIUC thing

Wonder what happened to Grogs pizza?

What says he will have proper coaching and a good team? Teams with those things aren't usually looking for starting QBs.

Thought someone like you may get the wrong idea. Imagine that!

A lot of the Fields Fan Club said good coaching was Tomlin and Tomlin was going to mold Fields into the Steelers franchise QB.

McShay says Cleveland isn't drafting a QB at 2 which would put them into the FA QB ring.

They don't really have the money to be in on QBs. They're negative 32 million in effective cap. I think it's otherwise a solid spot to be for a QB like Fields... but can't see them doing it.

Not sure the status of the Watson contract is now that he has videos of himself dancing in crutches/a boot and tore his Achilles again.

And who knows how legit this rumor is - even if it was, I don't see Fields going there either. I still think they double dip with Kirk + a rookie.

No fucking clue what the Raiders are doing. There's been very little out of them thus far.

CLE should 100% tank this year.

CLE should absolutely draft BPA, which isn’t a QB at 2. Get Abdul Carter, see what you can get in a trade for Garrett. Just stock up on good football players. Dump that Watson contract as soon as you can, THEN look for the QB in the draft.

 

[GoDJtop10]

I agree. Trade Garrett for as many high draft picks as possible.

Yeah they have no reason to try to win. Just amass draft picks.
