In the moments after trading for fourth-year quarterback Justin Fields, the Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly made it clear to veteran quarterback Russell Wilson — who was signed to a one-year, $1.21 million deal in free agency — that he is the starting quarterback entering the 2024 season.

Though Fields is coming to Pittsburgh to backup Wilson and learn from the future Hall of Famer, he still should be able to see the field in some specific packages for the former Ohio State star.
