The Pittsburgh Steelers added two notable quarterbacks ahead of the 2024 season. Former Chicago Bears starter Justin Fields began the season under center, going 4–2 before giving way to veteran Russell Wilson, who began the season recovering from injury. It was Wilson's show the rest of the way, a run that began with four straight wins before a late-season swoon that saw him finish with a 6–5 record as starter and a loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs.
While Mike Tomlin and his staff thought that Wilson was the best option down the stretch, even as the offense struggled late in the season, it sounds like the Steelers believe it is the 25-year-old Fields who is worth investing in long term. Both players are set to hit free agency.
