NFL News: Steelers could lose Justin Fields to a surprising team in free agency

The New York Jets could be the team to win the race for Justin Fields. Although the Pittsburgh Steelers want to keep him, Aaron Glenn could start his rebuilding project with a young and mobile quarterback, according to a report from Jordan Schultz.

“The Jets are high on Justin Fields, according to multiple sources. They love his athleticism, leadership traits, ability to move the pocket and maybe most importantly, believe his best football is ahead of him. Could Fields be GM Darren Mougey’s first big free agency signing?”

One thing that is certain is that Fields has decided to become a free agent and from there, decide which team offers the best opportunity to be a starter, compete for the Super Bowl, and, of course, receive an attractive contract.

Will Justin Fields be a free agent?

Yes. Justin Fields will be a free agent, and that opens the door for the Jets to make a higher offer than the Steelers. If Pittsburgh takes too long, Fields could end up in New York, and even Wilson might sign with the Giants, according to Schultz’s information.

“Sources: The Steelers have kept an open dialogue with both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, aiming to retain one of them. Both veteran QBs have a strong market, with the Jets believed to be most interested in Fields, while the Giants, who are exploring several QBs, including Aaron Rodgers, have been in on Russ.”
