It’s hard to cut ties in the NFL. But let’s be honest — it’s part of the business. The Pittsburgh Steelers made that clear when they moved on from dual-threat quarterback Justin Fields, despite his flashes of promise. When the Steelers parted ways with Fields after the 2024 season, it caught more than a few fans off guard. The former first-round pick finished with a 4–2 record as Pittsburgh’s starter before being benched in favor of veteran gunslinger Russell Wilson.
Ironically, both quarterbacks have since found new homes — and both have found themselves on the bench again.
