It has been widely reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers will not bring back both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in free agency for the 2025 season. They may bring back one, however, and they may have a pretty strong lean toward one over the other.
James Palmer of Underdog Fantasy said Wednesday that some in the Steelers organization still believe Fields never should have been benched for Wilson in the first place, and that there is a strong preference to bring Fields back due to his youth and potential affordability.
“Mike Tomlin went lone wolf last year in making the change from Fields to Wilson,” Palmer said. “It paid off early, then it fell apart towards the end. There were plenty of people in that building and still remain in that building that believe that the Steelers never should have switched quarterbacks in the first place. …With Wilson having multiple options, perhaps the Steelers lean in the other direction.”
