The Steelers’ quarterback lineup for the 2024 season presents an unexpected pairing: Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
Wilson, anticipated to take the starting role in Pittsburgh this year, expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating with Fields on social media.
“Let’s get it @justnfields! QB room bout to be 🔥 🔥 🔥” Wilson tweeted.
While Wilson is slated to lead and Fields is set to serve as his backup, there may be a consideration for Wilson given the Steelers’ acquisition of a talented quarterback who is significantly younger.
With no long-term commitments to either Wilson or Fields beyond 2024, the Steelers might explore Fields’ potential if Wilson encounters challenges early in the season, weighing their options for the quarterback position in 2025.
For now, Wilson extends a warm welcome to Fields in Pittsburgh, and the Steelers boast an improved quarterback room from the previous year, at a reasonable cost of just $4.44 million in salary cap space and a conditional 2025 third-day draft pick.
