The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the biggest intrigues heading into the start of free agency. No one knows what the final decision will be regarding who will be their quarterback for the upcoming season, whether it’s Justin Fields, Russell Wilson, or some surprise name.
There have been many rumors. While Fields and Wilson are considered homegrown due to their experience inside the building in 2025, other names like Aaron Rodgers and even Sam Darnold have started to emerge.
Just a few days ago, reports confirmed that the Steelers inquired about Super Bowl champion quarterback Matthew Stafford, but the star showed no interest in Pittsburgh and decided to stay with the Rams.
Who will be the starting quarterback of the Steelers in 2025?
Justin Fields would have an advantage over Russell Wilson to be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, according to a report by Jeremy Fowler.
“The sense I get is that Justin Fields has an edge over Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh’s free agent quarterback pecking order. There is sentiment for Fields in the building, and both sides would be open to a return. The Steelers have at least another week to crystallize those plans, and they certainly haven’t ruled out Wilson at this point.”

Will Sam Darnold sign with Steelers?
However, the renowned insider emphasized that Sam Darnold cannot yet be ruled out as an option for Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan as his future with the Vikings is absolutely uncertain.
“While the Vikings are open to Sam Darnold returning, I continue to hear they won’t mortgage the future to keep him. There’s not much momentum coming out of the combine that the Vikings will franchise tag Darnold, who should have multiple suitors if available. The Giants, Raiders and Titans are among the logical options. And I’m not totally discounting the Steelers here. Not yet, at least. As one high-ranking official with a QB-needy team pointed out to me, Darnold won 14 games for the Vikings in 2024 and is the best option on the market by a wide margin.”
