In the battle of Justin Fields vs. Russell Wilson, it seems ownership would prefer to start 2025 with the quarterback who ended 2024. Appearing on 93.7 The Fan Friday afternoon, Pittsburgh Steelers’ beat writer Mark Kaboly hinted owner Art Rooney II prefers Wilson to Fields.
“The people at the top of the organization that might make the ultimate decisions are No. 3 fans over No. 2 fans,” Kaboly told 93.7 The Fan’s Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller, referring to Wilson’s No. 3 jersey over Fields’ No. 2.
It’s a more concrete comment to what Kaboly made exactly one week ago, hinting that ownership preferred Wilson before walking his statement back.
