Danger Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Trades have definitely been a buyers market this offseason so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) I'd love to know if when Russell Wilson was courted by the Steelers, asked to sign did they even acknowledge the possibility of adding Fields? I'd assume they told him, we're getting rid of Pickett,you have nothing to worry about but now adding Justin "looking" over his shoulder? Can't make this 💩 up! 😎 You guys can hate both moves all you want but the Steelers are paying Wilson and Fields 2-3x less money combined then they spent on Mitch Trubisky last year as a back up.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 So if I'm Pittsburgh, the plan is essentially use Russ as a 1-year bridge QB while Justin Fields sits (no way you're playing him 51% of the snaps this year if you have a choice), then potentially evaluate him next year vs. whoever and get a comp pick for Russ OR completely reset next year and get a comp pick for both QB's who leave? What a generational miss by Chicago, though, and then to not get anything in return for him. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean, Twice? Let's not forget the Trubisky debacle, before Justin. Really is sad how badly they failed that Fanbase/Franchise. Now let's try 1st rd QB #3 in 5 yrs and see if he's truly this Generational talent (Not) the pundits keep claiming.

He isn't under contract for 2025 and likely won't be until next offseason, if he's even under contract with the Steelers at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I thought he would get a 2nd at least. For all Ohio state/browns fans this must be like finding out your ex has your baby but hasn't named you the father. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I think Ohio State fans can sleep well at night because of C.J. Stroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart organizations recognize when they’ve made a mistake and move on. Williams is at least a top tier prospect unlike the other two guys.

Tugboat Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) 3 hours ago, Forge said: This is the part that's really weird to me. Like...i guess at this low price, it doesn't hurt to have Fields as a fallback plan in case Russ really just cannot cook. But Fields is such a weird guy to sit on the bench at this juncture of his career. To me, he's far more of a "fail fast" candidate that you want to throw out there and either continue sinking, or start to swim. Especially in light of his impending contract situation. But i guess when you get a guy for a 6th round pick, who cares what happens with him. That's just the going rate for a mediocre backup really. You don't have to care what happens beyond this year at that very low level of investment. But anyway. I'm glad to see the league confirming my belief that Sam Howell >>> Fields as a Quarterback, as reflected by their respective trade values. Especially after getting dragged into an absolutely ludicrous offseason argument about Lawrence vs Fields as though that was ever even remotely close. 😆 🤣 😆 I do think that the Bears just kinda fumbled this one like Fields himself would've been proud of. They overplayed their hand and the already small potential market just disintegrated around them. Edited March 17 by Tugboat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Wait, I just now noticed this is a 2025 pick. Sheesh lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not tall, but he's got better football passer traits than Fields tbh. Which is more important than those traits Fields has that make him a good runner. That's not what teams really love at the QB position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
