Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Gerry Dulac told Rich Eisen yesterday that he “wouldn’t be shocked” if the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields this offseason. He continues to argue that they remain committed to QB Kenny Pickett for another season, however. He did add that Pittsburgh pursuing Fields may not be shocking but at least mildly surprising.
I personally would find it to be more than mildly surprising, and disappointing, but then again, my opinion doesn’t matter. For the sake of elaboration, though, I don’t see Fields as a franchise-quality quarterback. Accordingly, if you commit to him, you’re only delaying the search for the solution.
