The 2024 NFL season is warming up, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> are already in game mode. During Wednesday’s training camp session, several players got into a massive brawl due to a late hit on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a>.



Earlier this year, the Steelers decided to overhaul their entire quarterback room. Besides acquiring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson</a>, Pittsburgh also brought in Justin Fields, who they believe could be their future starting quarterback.



As of now, it seems like Wilson will be the starter. However, the Steelers are currently evaluating Justin Fields in training camps to see if he can take on the role in the near future.



<h2>Watch: Steelers training camp ends in huge brawl due to Justin Fields</h2>



Training camps are a great opportunity for all teams to test new players. The Steelers are currently undergoing a massive change in their offense, as they will have a completely new set of players to lead the club.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-russell-wilson-may-lose-a-key-steelers-teammate-for-the-2024-season"></div>


For this preseason, the Steelers are set to use both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, but the latter will likely see more action. For that reason, Fields has been more involved in the team’s training camps to better connect with his teammates.



During Wednesday’s training camp, Justin Fields received a late hit from the defense. The quarterback fell to the ground, but his offensive linemen reacted quickly and defended him.



While Fields didn’t suffer any injury, his teammates are aware that late hits could harm him. This situation started a huge fight on the field, but Fields immediately distanced himself from the problem.

Mason McCormick shoved Elandon Roberts, the player who hit Justin Fields, after the contact on the quarterback. Nevertheless, all players calmed down afterward and quickly returned to their activities.



<h2>Who will be the starting QB for the Steelers in 2024?</h2>



Earlier this year, the Steelers moved on from Kenny Pickett, who was hired by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a>. In need of a new starter, Pittsburgh signed Russell Wilson and Justin Fields this offseason.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/steeles-news-russell-wilson-may-get-a-new-wide-receiver-for-the-2024-nfl-season"></div>


According to reports, Wilson will start in Week 1, but Justin Fields has left a very good impression on Mike Tomlin. While Wilson could be a quick solution, it seems the team sees Fields as their long-term quarterback for the future.

The&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>&nbsp;had another disappointing season after being eliminated by Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round. The franchise has no victories in the playoffs during the last seven years.



As a consequence, many changes have been done by general manager Omar Khan. Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky are out of the building and the quarterback room got a massive boost with the arrival of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.



After the retirement of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger">Ben Roethlisberger</a>, the Steelers haven’t found their franchise quarterback and the quest for a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> seems more difficult than ever in a loaded AFC with teams like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, the Baltimore Ravens or the Cincinnati Bengals.



<h2>Will Justin Fields be the starting quarterback of the Steelers?</h2>



The Madden NFL 25 official trailer is out and, undoubtedly, the biggest surprise in the preview of the famous video game was a special appearance by Justin Fields. It all happened during a simulated game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns.







In the sequence, Fields appears as kick returner in the first images of the video. It’s important to remember that, since Justin signed with the Steelers, there are strong rumors of head coach Mike Tomlin using him as part of special teams.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240208#BUS#103205"></div>


Although Justin Fields should be protected due to his importance as quarterback, the new kickoff rule in the NFL might open a window for him to participate in certain gadget plays. Madden 25 thinks it’s possible.

Famous video game 'hints' Justin Fields' shocking new role with Steelers - Bolavip US

This offseason, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> signed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> to compete for the starting quarterback role. However, they seem to be interested in seeing him as a punt returner, and he has now opened up about this possibility.



Justin Fields will have another opportunity to showcase his skills. After parting ways with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Bears</a>, the player decided to join the Steelers, but his chances of being the starter are very low this year.



During this offseason, the Steelers added Russell Wilson, who was released by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a>. He’s set to lead the offense, but Fields is eagerly awaiting for an opportunity to prove that he’s still a reliable quarterback.



<h2>Justin Fields rejects the possibility of playing as punt returner</h2>



When the Steelers announced the arrival of Justin Fields, everyone knew that he would be Russell Wilson’s backup. However, it seems like there was another place where he could shine as starter: returning punts.



Jaylen Warren, running back of the Steelers, recently revealed that the team’s special coordinator suggested Fields to play as kick returner. Nevertheless, the quarterback has completely rejected the idea.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/russell-wilson-gets-brutally-honest-on-his-struggles-in-denver"></div>


“Nah, I think everybody kind of interpreted it wrong,” Fields said Tuesday, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “Coach Danny was basically just trying to send a message that no matter who you are, you could be on special teams. He just used that as an example.”



For many fans, the possibility of seeing Justin Fields play in another position was very attractive. He has showcased his skills running the ball, proving to be an elusive player who could certainly shine in punt returns.



<h2>How will the Steelers use Justin Fields?</h2>



Justin Fields won’t be the starting quarterback for the Steelers, at least not during the first few weeks. It appears that Russell Wilson will lead the offense, but that doesn’t mean Fields won’t see any playing time.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers-justin-fields-sends-big-warning-to-russell-wilson"></div>


According to Arthur Smith, the new offensive coordinator for the Steelers, the team may use Fields in red zone situations. Justin could be utilized as a dual threat, but it seems like Pittsburgh wants to take advantage of his legs more than his arm.

Steelers: Justin Fields opens up about possibly playing as a punt returner

Justin Fields is ready to start the next chapter of his career. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Chicago Bears</a> chose <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a> as their franchise quarterback and, as a consequence, Fields was traded to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>.



Head coach Mike Tomlin is also beginning a new era as he approved a revolution to boost the team’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> chances. After Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky were a failure, Russell Wilson arrives following two very complicated seasons with the Denver Broncos.



Although Wilson is officially the front-runner to be the starting quarterback, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Justin Fields</a> warned that it won’t be that easy for the veteran. It’s important to remember that Fields is 25-years old, trying to land a massive contract extension.



“I’m definitely competing. I think Russ knows that we’re competing against each other every day. Him being out there for me, that helps me getting better, especially each other. I definitely don’t have the mindset of me just sitting all year. I’m coming in every day giving it all I got and pushing him to be his best and he’s pushing me to be my best each and every day.”

<h2>Justin Fields explains trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers</h2>



Justin Fields knew for a long time that Caleb Williams was going to be selected with the No.1 overall pick. It was a very tough moment for him, but, the quarterback thanked GM Ryan Poles for letting him play for the Steelers.







“We were in the same situation last year with having the No. 1 pick and it was just a little bit different this year. I knew what was going to happen beforehand. So I’m just glad I got traded to the spot that I wanted to be at. Shoutout to Poles. We communicated to him through my agent and I told him where I wanted to be and this was a place I wanted to be. He honored that, and I appreciate him for that and glad he was able to put me in a spot where I wanted to be at.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240208#BUS#103205"></div>


According to a report from Adam Schefter,&nbsp;the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t pick the $25 million, fifth-year option of Justin Fields. If the young player doesn’t win the starting job, it’s difficult to assume other teams might offer him a big deal.



<h2>Who will be the next franchise quarterback of the Steelers?</h2>



If&nbsp;Russell Wilson&nbsp;performs well as starting quarterback of the Steelers, the former Super Bowl champion could get a final big contract in his career. Right now, Pittsburgh are just paying $1.2 million as Denver absorbed most of his salary.



On the other side, if Fields claims the starting job in the process, it would seem almost inevitable a huge contract extension to be the successor of Ben Roethlisberger in Steel City.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Justin Fields sends big warning to Russell Wilson

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers </a>were on a mission to revamp their offense this offseason, and that’s exactly what they did. They traded for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson </a>and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Field</a>s, and signed Arthur Smith as their new offensive coordinator.



They already had an elite defense and a great coach, but there was just so much they could do with Matt Canada calling the shots, and a QB room cosisting of Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph, and Kenny Pickett.



This competition could bring the best out of both quarterbacks. Nonetheless, it seems like the Steelers could use Fields in a different position, as RB Jaylen Warren revealed that they could use him as a kick-off returner.



<h2>Steelers Could Have Fields Returning Kicks</h2>



“I would, I think it’s pretty cool — as soon as you touch the ball that’s when everything starts to happen,” Warren said on Cam Heyward’s podcast. “Our special teams coordinator was talking about Justin Fields being back there. We looked at him like, Justin Fields will be back there? I think it’s cool.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240502_BUS_123324_justinfields-2-1024x576_6dceab1f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Justin Fields" class="wp-image-107974" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/justinfields-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/justinfields-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/justinfields-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/justinfields-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/justinfields-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Justin Fields as quarterback of the Chicago Bears</figcaption></figure>



Needless to say, that would be a strange way to use their quarterback. Nonetheless, the new kick-off rules make it safer for players, and he’s rushed for over 2,200 yards, so he clearly can do a lot of damage with the rock in his hand.



<h2>Wilson Is The Starter For Now</h2>



Coach Tomlin has already made it loud and clear that Wilson is their starting quarterback, at least for the time being. That might change at some point down the line, but not right now:



“We’ve been very transparent about the pecking order, at least to start,” HC Mike Tomlin said back in March. “I just think that provides clarity for all parties involved. Russell is a veteran, man. He’s got a proven process of readiness. He’s been in this league a long time. He’s capable of rallying troops, receivers, tight ends, running backs, etc. He’s just got a lot of experience in terms of what it takes to be the guy over the course of a 12-month calendar, and I just think that that’s something that a younger guy like Justin could learn from.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/steelers-make-big-decision-about-justin-fields-future"></div>






Fields may have one final opportunity to salvage his career. And while that might not be what he signed up for, perhaps that could be the only way to be on the field next season.

Steelers to give Justin Fields a bizarre role

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> have been one of the most active teams in free agency, especially at the quarterback position. General manager Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin signed Justin Fields and Russell Wilson to win their first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> in 13 years. 



Kenny Pickett was supposed to be the next franchise QB following the retirement of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger">Ben Roethlisberger</a>, but, after only two years, that story is over as the young player has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles.



In the short term, Wilson will be the starter. However, a big question in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> is what will happen when the season ends. Russell is on a one-year contract and Fields’ deal, after being traded by the Chicago Bears, is also close of expiring.



Justin Fields’ situation is totally different compared to a veteran like Wilson as he’s trying to land a massive contract extensión after his rookie agreement.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240424_BUS_121316_miketomlin-1024x576_e692aad5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-103228" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28082548/miketomlin-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28082548/miketomlin-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28082548/miketomlin-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28082548/miketomlin-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28082548/miketomlin.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Steelers are ready to make big decision about Justin Fields (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Will Justin Fields get a contract extension with Steelers?</h2>



Right now, the answer is no. According to a report by Adam Schefter, Justin Wilson won’t get an extra year with the Pittsburgh Steelers and, after the 2024 season, he could test the market.


 

 


“League sources do not expect the Steelers to pick up the $25 million fifth-year option on quarterback Justin Fields, whom the team acquired last month for a conditional 2025 6th-round pick. Fields and Russell Wilson both now will be entering the last year of their contracts.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dak-prescott-threatens-to-leave-dallas-cowboys"></div>


This means that, in both cases, Wilson and Fields will play in 2024 trying to earn a huge contract extension in Pittsburgh or elsewhere. That could be massive on the field for the Steelers, but, the long term future might be in jeopardy if they deliver as other teams could have a shot to sign them.



<h2>Who will be the next franchise quarterback of the Steelers?</h2>



If Russell Wilson shines as starting quarterback, the veteran would be ready to ask for a final big contract in his illustrious career. Nevertheless, the current gamble by the Steelers is really low risk by paying him just $1.2 million.



Meanwhile, if Fields wins the race and takes over to lead the offense, they would have to give him a new deal as a top paid quarterback in the NFL. In that scenario, the Steelers could also be happy considering they would have find the successor of Big Ben for many years to come.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240214#BUS#104805"></div>


So, the Steelers’ plan is clear. Let two star quarterbacks earn everything on the field in 2024 and, if everything works out, find out who is the next franchise quarterback. If both fail, there also no risk at all as both could be out at zero cost.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> are making moves in free agency to win the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>. At the quarterback position, they probable made the biggest upgrade in the NFL by signing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> and then trading with the Chicago Bears for Justin Fields.



However, general manager Omar Khan didn’t stop there. On offense, Diontae Johnson left to the Carolina Panthers but, Van Jefferson and Quez Watkins are new acquisitions for the wide receiver group to play alongside George Pickens and Calvin Austin.



On defense, cornerback Donte Jackson arrived as part of Johnson’s trade and, on special teams, the Steelers signed one of the most exciting players in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> to take advantage of the new kickoff rule: Cordarrelle Patterson.

<h2>Steelers sign another quarterback in free agency</h2>



Although Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are the biggest names for the Steelers to play quarterback, it’s important to remember the position was totally empty on the depth chart as they let go Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph.


 

 


That’s why, a third quarterback was needed and Kyle Allen has signed with Pittsburgh as a free agent. Allen has a lot of experience in the NFL playing for other teams such as the Washington, the Carolina Panthers, the Houston Texans and the Buffalo Bills.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240208#BUS#103205"></div>


<h2>Who will be the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers?</h2>



Mike Tomlin confirmed during the&nbsp;NFL Annual League Meeting&nbsp;in Orlando that Russell Wilson is in ‘pole position’ to be the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024.

He’s got a proven process of readiness. He’s been in this league a long time. He’s capable of rallying troops, receivers, tight ends, running backs, etc. He’s just got a lot of experience in terms of what it takes to be the guy over the course of a 12-month calendar and I just think that that’s something that a younger guy like Justin could learn from.”

Steelers sign another quarterback in free agency

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t won a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> in 15 years and the pressure for owner Art Rooney II and the team’s front office keeps growing. After the retirement of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger">Ben Roethlisberger</a>, the quarterback situation for head coach Mike Tomlin has been chaotic.



First, Mitch Trubisky was supposed to be the man in charge of the transition by mentoring Kenny Pickett. However, in the middle of that 2022 season, Tomlin gave the reigns to the rookie.



Then, in 2023, Kenny was officially named the starter but, an ankle injury against the Arizona Cardinals sidelined him. Trubisky couldn’t deliver as backup and Mason Rudolph emerged to lead the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Steelers</a> to the playoffs.



During those final three games, the offense was totally different with Rudolph exploiting the abilities of playmakers like George Pickens and Diontae Johnson. All that, combined with a powerful duo in the running game with Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris.

<h2>Russell Wilson or Justin Fields: Who will be the starting quarterback of the Steelers?</h2>



During the NFL Annual League Meeting in Orlando, head coach Mike Tomlin spoke about the arrival of two big names at quarterback like Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. 







Of course, the head coach had to answer the big question. Who will be the starting quarterback? Tomlin wasn’t hesitant. Wilson is in “pole position” to secure the starting job. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240208#BUS#103205"></div>




“We’ve been very transparent about the pecking order, at least to start. I just think that provides clarity for all parties involved. Russell is a veteran, man. He’s got a proven process of readiness. He’s been in this league a long time. He’s capable of rallying troops, receivers, tight ends, running backs, etc. He’s just got a lot of experience in terms of what it takes to be the guy over the course of a 12-month calendar and I just think that that’s something that a younger guy like Justin could learn from.”



However, Tomlin has been adamant of Justin Fields’ skills for years and guaranteed the young quarterback will have a fair chance to compete. “Rest assured when it’s time to compete, Justin will be given an opportunity to compete, and we’ll allow those guys to sort themselves out.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> just made a total transformation of their quarterback room. In a span of just a few weeks, Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph were all gone. 



As consequence, the Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin had to make an upgrade trying to win their first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> in 15 years. That’s why, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> and Justin Fields arrived.



Right now, the Pittsburgh Steelers might have the best No.1-No.2 duo at the QB position in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. However, the big question for thousands of fans is who will be the starter during the 2024 season.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240323_BUS_113891_justinfields-2-1024x576_466c81eb.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-107974" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Justin Fields was traded by the Bears to the Steelers (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Who will be the Steelers’ starting quarterback in 2024?</h2>



Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers going into training camp. However, Justin Fields is ready to bring another level of competition.


 

 


In fact, insider Albert Breer explained how things unfolded. “Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was upfront with Justin Fields—told him that Russell Wilson is the starter, and Fields will work from there. Fields has told people he’s excited for the new beginning. Tomlin’s connections at Ohio State run deep, so that didn’t hurt.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/justin-fields-gets-special-message-from-russell-wilson-after-being-traded-to-pittsburgh-steelers"></div>


It’s very interesting situation around possible contract extensions. In Wilson’s case, the Denver Broncos will pay him most of the 2024 salary ($38 million) and the Steelers are only responsible for $1.2 million. The veteran is trying to revamp his career and, a big year in Pittsburgh, could bring him a final massive contract before retirement. 



Meanwhile, Justin Fields will enter his fourth-year in the NFL and he’s also looking for a huge deal. The problem is that, if the young QB doesn’t play at all for the Steelers, it’s difficult to imagine any team taking a financial risk with him.

NFL: Who will be the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024?

Justin Fields is new player of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> after a huge trade with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Chicago Bears</a>. Now, the quarterback room has been massively upgraded considering the previous arrival of Russell Wilson.



Of course, the situation is very intriguing for head coach Mike Tomlin. Fields wants to prove he is a star trying to get a huge second contract in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. Meanwhile, following two disastrous years in Denver, Wilson wants redemption.



In their quest to win a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> for the first time in 15 years, the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to move on from Kenny Pickett by sending him to the Philadelphia Eagles. 



Now, although many could expect a QB controversy in Pittsburgh, Russell Wilson is all-in to help his new teammate. That’s why the veteran sent a very special message to Fields. “Let’s get it @justnfields QB room about to be lit.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="473" height="563" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240317_BUS_112118_russellwilson_51918544.webp&amp;width=473&amp;height=563" alt="" class="wp-image-112127" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080516/russellwilson.jpeg 473w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080516/russellwilson-252x300.jpeg 252w" sizes="(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px"></figure><figcaption>X / @DangeRussWilson</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Will Russell Wilson or Justin Fields start with Steelers?</h2>



According to a report from Brooke Pryor, Russell Wilson will be the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Justin Fields will be his backup. Anything could change through training camp and preseason, but that would be the initial look in the depth chart. 


 

 


The truth is the Steelers have probable the best quarterback room in the NFL at a very low cost. It’s important to remember that Denver will pay most of Wilson’s salary and Pittsburgh only owes him $1.2 million.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240208#BUS#103205"></div>


Furthermore, in that big trade for Justin Fields, the Pittsburgh Steelers only gave a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft which might become a fourth-round pick based on playtime.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Chicago Bears</a> might be ready to become a contender in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. Right now, general manager, Ryan Poles, holds the No.1 overall pick and has to make the biggest decision of his career between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a> and Justin Fields. However, there’s so much more in this rebuilding process.



The Bears have been probably the most active franchise in free agency creating a championship caliber roster. Jaylon Johnson signed a four-year contract extension, the trade for Montez Sweat was a success and D’Andre Swift is their new running back.



Now, the Chicago Bears just made a blockbuster trade which, if they choose the right quarterback, could make them favorites to win a very competitive NFC North over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Detroit Lions</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a>. Even a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> wouldn’t be out of the discussion. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240315_BUS_111640_justinfields-2-1024x576_76dd3907.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-107974" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081406/justinfields-2.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Justin Fields or Caleb Williams will have an incredible roster to lead the Bears (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Chicago Bears make blockbuster trade with Los Angeles Chargers</h2>



The Chicago Bears acquired star wide receiver Keenan Allen after an amazing trade with the Chargers. In exchange, Los Angeles will receive a fourth-round pick. A massive move in the NFL.


 

 


Now, the Bears are stacked on offense. Just imagine Allen playing alongside DJ Moore with D’Andre Swift as their running threat. If Caleb Williams is the chosen one, the quarterback will arrive to an extraordinary situation.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/justin-jefferson-names-the-quarterback-he-wants-to-play-for-with-minnesota-vikings"></div>


On the other side, the Los Angeles Chargers just had no room to keep Keenan Allen because of all their salary cap issues. Mike Williams was already released and the only star they could retain is Joey Bosa.



<h2>Who will be the starting quarterback of the Chicago Bears?</h2>



All reports point out to&nbsp;Caleb Williams&nbsp;as the new quarterback of the&nbsp;Chicago Bears&nbsp;with the No.1 overall pick. Furthermore, the Bears made a very intriguing move by just signing&nbsp;Brett Rypien&nbsp;as their backup quarterback.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240214#BUS#104805"></div>


So, unless they don’t find a potential suitor to trade for Fields, Williams and Rypien should be on top of the depth chart before training camp. The talent on offense and defense is absolutely promising for the Bears.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Chicago Bears</a> are just weeks away of one of their biggest decisions in franchise history. General manager Ryan Poles holds the No.1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and he has chosen <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a> over Justin Fields. 



Williams had an extraordinary career in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> with USC and many experts consider the young quarterback is the greatest prospect in years. However, in the second part of the 2023 season, Fields proved his worth as a possible starting quarterback in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. That didn’t matter.



The Bears haven’t won a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> since 1985 and this choice could determine if they will become a contender or not in the near future. The NFC North is already stacked with two playoff teams like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Detroit Lions</a>.

<h2>Who will be the starting quarterback of the Chicago Bears?</h2>



According to many reports, Caleb Williams will be selected by the Chicago Bears with the No.1 overall pick. Now, there’s no more controversy on the depth chart as Fields has been traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a conditional 2025 sixth-round pick.


 

 


Furthermore, the Bears just signed Brett Rypien as their backup quarterback after he spent last season with the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Jets. With Fields’ departure, he is clearly set to be the No.2.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/justin-jefferson-names-the-quarterback-he-wants-to-play-for-with-minnesota-vikings"></div>


Rypien has already worked with Chicago’s new offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron. That’s why, this could be a clear indicator of what’s next for the franchise. Caleb Williams as the starter and Brett Rypien behind him.



<h2>What will be the next team of Justin Fields?</h2>



As a consequence, a trade for Justin Fields was inevitable if the Chicago Bears had already chosen their No.1 and No.2 quarterbacks on the depth chart. Although there were at least five suitors for Fields, the young quarterback asked to be traded to Pittsburgh.

Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings are ready to start a new era without <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirk-cousins">Kirk Cousins</a> after the veteran quarterback signed a new contract with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons">Atlanta Falcons</a>.



As a consequence, this is uncharted territory for head coach Kevin O’Connell who last season had to improvise with Josh Dobbs and Nick Mullens after an Achilles injury derailed any hope of Cousins leading the team to a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>.



That’s why, in this huge search for a quarterback in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, Jefferson is one of the authorized voices to suggest what the Vikings might need to compete in the NFC North with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Detroit Lions</a>.



The answer was a blockbuster trade. “We have to build on for after Kirk. Having Justin Fields brings a little more pressure to other teams by having a dominant quarterback like he is.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240313_BUS_111252_kevinoconnell-1024x576_63c4ef9b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-111274" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080650/kevinoconnell-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080650/kevinoconnell-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080650/kevinoconnell-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080650/kevinoconnell-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080650/kevinoconnell.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kevin O’Connell has to find the successor of Kirk Cousins (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Who will be the next quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings?</h2>



Right now, the Minnesota Vikings are very thin at the quarterback position. A few days ago, they signed Sam Darnold to a one-year, $10 milllion contract after he was the backup with the San Francisco 49ers.


 

 


Meanwhile, Nick Mullens is still on the roster but it seems that Darnold could have a slight advantage over him before the start of training camp. Of course, that doesn’t seem enough for Justin Jefferson.



However, the dream of signing Justin Fields is over for the Vikings as the young quarterback will play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Right now, there aren’t many options left in free agency and that might frustrate Jefferson. It could even trigger a blockbuster trade for the wide receiver.

The first day of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>free agency is already in the history books. We saw some shocking moves, like Saquon Barkley joining the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers replacing Aaron Jones with Josh Jacobs.



However, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Bears </a>were the biggest losers of the day, with Kirk Cousins joining the Atlanta Falcons and Russell Wilson already agreeing to a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They’re now stuck with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a>, whose trade value continues to plummet by the minute. 



Considering that, NFL insider Benjamin Allbright reveals that there could still be a market for him, albeit as a backup, with the Philadelphia Eagles as a legitimate candidate.



<h2>Eagles Could Trade For Justin Fields</h2>



“Wouldn’t be surprised if Justin Fields winds up as a backup with the Colts or Eagles,” Allbright tweeted Monday. “Several teams that were being reported were never in play, and the market has been incredibly thin on him as the Bears have shopped him for a few weeks.”

The Eagles already have a franchise quarterback in Jalen Hurts, but he struggled with injuries last season, and durability could be a concern. Needless to say, Fields would be a suitable replacement:



“The Eagles signed Marcus Mariota as the backup to Jalen Hurts last offseason, but he under-performed in the preseason and in limited regular-season action,” wrote Zach Dimmitt of Eagles Nation. “Many fans pushed for rookie quarterback Tanner McKee to be the full-time backup after an impressive preseason, but he’d be pushed down the pecking order if Fields were to land in Philly.”




<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240302#BUS#108507"></div>




As shocking as this may have seemed weeks ago, the Bears are running out of potential suitors for the former Ohio State standout, and this could be the end of the line for him as a starter, at least for the foreseeable future.

NFL Rumors: There's a shocking suitor for Justin Fields

It’s the end of an era in the NFC North. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirk-cousins">Kirk Cousins</a> has joined the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons">Atlanta Falcons</a> as a free agent ahead of the 2024 NFL season, leaving the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings">Minnesota Vikings</a> after six seasons.



The departure of the 35-year-old looked like a real possibility as the veteran quarterback was hitting the open market this offseason, which is why general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said the team had a plan B.



“Our approach heading into free agency always included layers of contingencies regarding the quarterback position,” Adofo-Mensah said, via Pro Football Talk. “We are moving forward with plans that allow us to continue building a roster that can compete for a championship.”



The question everyone is making now is who that contingency plan is. With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield">Baker Mayfield</a> and Russell Wilson no longer on the market, let’s take a look at possible replacements for Cousins.

<h2>Justin Fields</h2>



Perhaps one of the hottest names that could still make a move this offseason, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Justin Fields</a> is young enough to get his career back on track and a fresh start in Minnesota could be exactly what he needs to blossom into the top QB he was expected to be when the Bears drafted him 11th overall in 2021.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240311_BUS_110723_Justin-Fields-1024x576_82f66315.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Justin Fields #1 of the Chicago Bears looks on prior to a game against the Atlanta Falcons at Soldier Field on December 31, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois." class="wp-image-106503" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Justin-Fields-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Justin-Fields-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Justin-Fields-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Justin-Fields-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Justin-Fields.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Justin Fields #1 of the Chicago Bears looks on prior to a game against the Atlanta Falcons at Soldier Field on December 31, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.</figcaption></figure>



Chicago holds the first overall pick in this year’s draft, so chances are the team decides to start over with former Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. With that in mind, Fields could make sense for the Vikings.

<h2>Sam Darnold</h2>



Sam Darnold has been heavily linked with Minnesota since the Falcons signed Cousins, and it’s not a surprise. The 26-year-old has served as Brock Purdy’s backup at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">49ers</a> in 2023, but now could pursue another chance as a starter.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240311_BUS_110723_Sam-Darnold-1024x576_aa5fec9f.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Sam Darnold 49ers" class="wp-image-103181" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Sam-Darnold-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Sam-Darnold-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Sam-Darnold-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Sam-Darnold-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Sam-Darnold.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Sam Darnold in action for the San Francisco 49ers.</figcaption></figure>



While he couldn’t live up to the expectations as a third-overall pick with the Jets, the USC product has shown glimpses of his talent throughout his six seasons in the NFL. He has experience but is younger than other candidates in the free agency.



<h2>Joe Flacco</h2>



Another alternative the Vikings may explore is to get a seasoned quarterback for a low price that can respond in the short term. Joe Flacco was the Comeback Player of the Year in 2023, proving he still has something left in the tank for teams with need at quarterback.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240311_BUS_110723_joeflaccobrowns-1024x576_488430a2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Joe Flacco playing for the Cleveland Browns." class="wp-image-91177" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/joeflaccobrowns.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Joe Flacco playing for the Cleveland Browns.</figcaption></figure>



While he’s not getting any younger, the 39-year-old did great for the Browns last year, leading Cleveland to the playoffs after spending the first half of the season at home. Flacco’s experience in the league includes a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> ring, which Minnesota has been craving for decades now.



Of course, the Vikings can take other routes, with both Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall under contract while they hold the 11th overall pick in the 2024 Draft. In the event they go for a rookie with their first selection, veteran free agents such as Ryan Tannehill, Jacoby Brissett, and Marcus Mariota could also be worth keeping an eye on.
