Last in a three-part series on the Giants’ quarterback issue. What if the Giants’ next quarterback is somebody they let slip away four years ago? Would it be fate or foolish for the Giants to sign Justin Fields in free agency after they used their time on the clock with the No.
The Pittsburgh Steelers appear more interested in bringing back Justin Fields than going after other quarterbacks in free agency, according to Steelers insider Gerry Dulac.
Justin Fields’ media absence raises questions about his Steelers future as the team faces key decisions ahead of the 2025 season.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields posted a message on his Instagram ahead of NFL free agency and the 2025 offseason.
Mike Tomlin is staying with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the coach recently left the door open for wholesale quarterback change going into the 2025 NFL season. Accordingly, all signs point to veteran Russell Wilson exiting via free agency,
He continued: “People around the league are torn about what the Steelers should or will do at quarterback. The Russell Wilson experiment was not a failure -- he showed promise and gave the offense a lift midseason. But he was signed to help the Steelers in the playoffs, where Pittsburgh lost in the first round again.
Even though he was benched this season with the Steelers, Mike Tomlin still believes in Justin Fields as a starting quarterback.
Even though he's been relegated to the bench in favor of Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson since October, Justin Fields may still fill an important role for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they begin their quest for the franchise's seventh Lombardi Trophy in the wild-card round of the playoffs on Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens.
It’s a near-lock that the Giants will draft a quarterback this year. They haven’t drafted one since Daniel Jones in 2019, so they’re overdue to take the bat off their shoulder. But it’s possible they don’t take a quarterback with the No. 3 pick, which I believe is the premise of your question.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a tough decision to make regarding the quarterback position following a season characterized by passing inconsistency. Offensive production was not the only problem, but certainly part of their demise for this season.
Both QBs are set to be free agents, and the Steelers need a starter for 2025, without many appealing options available elsewhere.
