Chad Johnson: Justin Fields Is Steelers’ Future, Russell Wilson Will Earn ‘Big Payday’ Elsewhere

Consider Chad Johnson a big fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterbacks moves, bringing in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. But the reality is the two are likely to share a locker room together for only one season. With both pending free agents after 2024 – assuming Fields’ fifth-year option is declined next month – the Steelers will use this season as a fact-finding mission to determine their quarterback of the future.

To Johnson? They’ll land on Fields. Wilson will play well but get paid by someone else next offseason. On the latest episode of his Nightcap podcast with co-host Shannon Sharpe, Johnson laid out his prediction for the Steelers’ future.
