Insider Dianna Russini from The Athletic is doubling down on reports that Russell Wilson’s time with the Pittsburgh Steelers is all but over. According to Russini, the Steelers are likely to stick with Justin Fields, who has been with the team since last season.
It’s worth noting that Wilson’s performance was impressive at first, but he struggled towards the end of the season, losing five consecutive games, including a first-round playoff exit. Meanwhile, Fields had a solid start to the season, leading the Steelers to a 4-2 record before being benched for Wilson.
The Steelers’ decision to stick with Fields might be due to his long-term potential and mobility, which gives him an edge over Wilson. However, Wilson’s experience and leadership were valuable assets to the team, and his potential departure could impact the team’s dynamics.
As the Steelers navigate their quarterback situation, it’s clear that they’re at a crossroads. Will they opt for the stability and experience of Wilson, or will they bet on the potential and athleticism of Fields? Only time will tell.
