Justin Fields is entering the fourth-and-final year of his rookie contract in 2024, assuming the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t pickup his fifth-year option by May 2nd, which is unlikely to happen. He is just 25 years old, so by way of birth certificate he presents more long-term upside than Russell Wilson who is a decade older. Regardless, the Chicago Bears moved on from Fields, signaling they didn’t think he was the long-term answer at quarterback. That decision was made more difficult for them as they hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, expected to use the pick on QB Caleb Williams from USC.
