Jets insider predicts Justin Fields will choose New York over Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a quarterback dilemma that could shape the team's trajectory for years. After a season marked by inconsistency under center, with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields splitting time but failing to secure lasting trust, the Steelers face tough decisions in the offseason.
Wilson's early-season success fizzled, culminating in a disappointing Wild Card Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens, while Fields’ younger age and explosive potential offer a glimmer of hope. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggests that the Steelers might re-sign Wilson or Fields but are likely to draft a quarterback to address their long-term needs. However, picking 21st overall complicates the pursuit of a franchise QB, as top-tier prospects like Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward may already be off the board.
A more plausible solution could be targeting a quarterback in the second or third round, such as Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, Ohio State’s Will Howard, or Notre Dame’s Riley Leonard. This approach would allow Pittsburgh to use its first-round pick on another impactful position while taking a calculated risk on a developmental QB.
The Steelers have navigated similar challenges before, and while the 2025 quarterback class may lack top-end depth, the opportunity to pair a rookie passer with the team's existing roster talent could stabilize the position. Whether they roll the dice on a first-rounder or settle for a Day 2 project, Pittsburgh must confront the reality of their "quarterback hell" and take bold steps to secure a brighter future.
