‘Wilson Can Still Play’: The Athletic Lists Wilson, Fields As Upgrades At Quarterback For Steelers

Mike Jones of The Athletic recently took a look at every quarterback who changed teams this offseason and whether or not the move was an upgrade, a downgrade, or a wash for each team that acquired the player. For the Steelers, who turned over their quarterback room more than any team so far with the additions of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields and trading away Kenny Pickett, Jones thinks the Steelers got better. Meanwhile, he called Pickett’s move to Philadelphia a “wash” for the Eagles when it came to acquiring Pickett in place of Marcus Mariota.

Jones said that Wilson will have the right system to succeed in Pittsburgh.
