The Pittsburgh Steelers have ‘internal optimism’ that they will sign Justin Fields to a new deal, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Fields could test the market, but Fowler has noted that if the Steelers can give Fields a starting job, he is interested in returning to the team.

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the 2024 offseason with a ton of uncertainty at the quarterback position, and the organization looked to fix that by signing Russell Wilson and trading for Justin Fields.

As the Pittsburgh Steelers face a pivotal offseason, head coach Mike Tomlin's decision on the next quarterback has become a hot topic. In a surprising turn, Tomlin might be leaning towards veteran Russell Wilson over rising star Justin Fields.
