It takes two to tango and for the moment, Justin Fields isn’t the Pittsburgh Steelers’ dance partner. Poised to test the legal tampering period portion of free agency, the Steelers are reportedly waiting to hear back from Fields after sending over a contract proposal several days ago.
“They have had an offer out to Justin Fields for several days now,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Monday morning, noting Fields “has not given them an answer.”
The details of a contract aren’t known but clearly wasn’t good enough for Fields to immediately accept. Reporting has been consistent that Fields wants to truly understand his market by hitting the tampering period, allowing teams to freely talk with outside free agents.
