Steelers fans like fiction.
He's a Jet but I watched this video earlier and the beat reporters had a ton of respect for how Justin carried himself and his demeanor.

The real issue wasn't benching Justin for Russ as that was part of the agreement they had with Russ. The issue was not going back to Justin when the offensive staff called for it late in the season when they got stagnant. Arthur Smith took it to Tomlin what they were thinking and he decided to stick with Russ. Again, he doesn't like to change and it wasn't that Russ was struggling. This has been Tomlin's way for years. Once he gets someone he feels hasn't necessarily hurt them, he will continue with them.He's a Jet but I watched this video earlier and the beat reporters had a ton of respect for how Justin carried himself and his demeanor.
DK's Double Shot of Steelers: What if Russell stays?
What if Russell Wilson were to wind up staying as the Steelers' quarterback? Think of the ramifications ... and the near-impossibility of it all.#PittsburghS...
There's no point in Justin giving the Steelers a sweetheart deal - Tomlin didn't do Justin any favors by benching him for Russell and they're trying to play hardball by pitting Justin and Russell against each other in the negotiation before FA hits.
Just go to the Jets and call it unless Pittsburgh pays big.
He's got about 3300 passing yards and 20 passing TDs in his last 17 games.
Yes. This is what I’ve read from multiple sources.
True but they need to find out. Darnold is not a destination.

Did not have time to research it, just posted what was being reported. As I mentioned in my post, the numbers seemed little high - better than I thought. But then again, if you add rushing stats to those numbers Pitt fans on that board might be pretty close.
Yep, that is the danger — Tomlin digging in on a decision that not favor him. He has to get a ton of ironclad assurances first before doing a deal with them. Very risky. Safer path would likely be going to the Jets.
I can 100% see the Steelers draft Dart after getting Fields signed. Jets is the safer option.
What about him?
Jets are trying to trade up for cam ward too, they just don't have the inside track. I'd be shocked if they don't draft a qb if they sign fields
Probably in 2nd or 3rd round like Howard or Milroe. Not a big investment and Fields a shot to win starting job. Why be underpaid going back to the Steelers who will do the same thing? Might as well get the cheddar.
