If there is one theme, one word to sum up the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation, it’s competition. That’s what general manager Omar Khan said was needed after the 2023 season. It started with signing Russell Wilson, then continued with trading Kenny Pickett and acquiring Justin Fields.
Fields even said after the first day of OTAs on Tuesday that he wanted to be traded to Pittsburgh. That’s how he felt before the Steelers signed Wilson, and it’s how he felt after they traded Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles. The question is why would Fields want to go to a team where he wouldn’t be the clear-cut starter?
