The Steelers’ quarterback situation is about to get interesting. With Russell Wilson and Justin Fields set to hit the market, an insider predicts they’ll face a weak market for long-term deals. This means they might have to settle for shorter contracts, which could impact their overall earnings.
The current quarterback market is dominated by short-term opportunities, with few teams willing to invest in long-term deals. In fact, only Sam Darnold is expected to receive significant interest and a substantial contract. The Steelers will need to navigate this challenging market to secure their quarterback situation for the upcoming season.
To put this into perspective, the average annual salary for a starting quarterback is around $25-30 million, with top-tier quarterbacks earning upwards of $40-50 million per year. However, with the weak market, Wilson and Fields might not be able to command such high figures.
