The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to upgrade their roster for the 2025 NFL season after a disappointing end to last season. With quarterbacks Justin Fields and Russell Wilson out of contract and about to become unrestricted free agents, head coach Mike Tomlinās team is already working on finding replacements and has set its sights on a former New York Giants player.
The offseason market possibilities are many, and the Steelers need to solve the problem of who will be the starting quarterback next season. Tomlin has already warned that there will be changes at every level, and neither Fields nor Wilson are guaranteed a spot, even with the distinct possibility of moving on to other teams.
In recent days, it has been reported that Fields has the edge over Wilson, who would not be considered by the Steelers. The former Chicago Bears quarterback would be considered for a salary extension over the 36-year-old veteran, who started most of last season. However, a new player could arrive in Pittsburgh.
Former Giants in whom Steelers have interest
The player the Steelers are interested in is none other than former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who was released in 2024 and joined the Minnesota Vikings. As reported by journalist Andrew Fillipponi on his X account (formerly Twitter), the Pittsburgh organization believes he could be a good option in the offense.

Russell Wilson to go to the Giants?
In addition to speculation about Jonesā possible arrival to the Steelers, a report indicates that Wilson may be interested in New York as his next career destination for next season. While the former Seattle Seahawks quarterback has expressed that he wants to stay in Pittsburgh, reporter Jeremy Fowler indicated that Wilson āvisited the Giants in the last free agency, and New York is on his radar as a potential option in 2025.
