The Chicago Bears seem to have a decision to make soon on quarterback Justin Fields. They have an option to shop him, and if they do, the Bears should be ready to field several suitors. The Pittsburgh Steelers could be an interested party in Fields, as they are viewed as a QB-needy franchise even though they still have Kenny Pickett. For Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report, the Steelers should definitely try to go after Fields by using their 20th pick in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.

The Pittsburgh Steelers should have no hesitancy flipping this year’s 20th overall draft pick to the Chicago Bears for Justin Fields.

Pick your jaws off the floor.

What are the Steelers seriously losing? A potential offensive lineman with that selection? Quarterback is far too important to waste away another season with subpar options.

Should The Pittsburgh Steelers Go After Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields In The Offseason?

It’s hard to feel comfortable about the QB situation in Pittsburgh. Although they made the playoffs last season, they started Mason Rudolph in the wild-card round against the Buffalo Bills. Mason. Rudolph.

And that’s despite Kenny Pickett being healthy enough to play in that game., That the Steelers chose to go with Rudolph can be interpreted as an indictment of how little belief is there for the Steelers in the former Pittsburgh Panthers star. Pickett is signed through the 2025 NFL season with a fifth-year option still available.

As for Justin Fields, his deal with the Chicago Bears will expire after the 2024 season. The Steelers can realistically have both Pickett and Fields on the roster in 2024, but that’s a scenario that, at the moment, is a remote possibility, with neither Pittsburgh nor the Bears showing any concrete trade plans centered on Fields.
