Steelers Send Strong Signal to Justin Fields
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made their intentions clear to any quarterback considering their roster for 2025. Instead of lingering questions about who will stay and for how long, the team has shown their hand, signaling to the NFL world that they’re committed to improving their offense this offseason.
After years of struggles, the Steelers have made it known that they’re fully invested in their offense this season. The team traded a second-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks for wide receiver DK Metcalf and locked him in with a five-year, $150 million deal. This move sends a strong message to Justin Fields, Sam Darnold, and any other potential quarterbacks: the Steelers are building something special.
Look for the Steelers to be active during the legal tampering period to show quarterbacks just how serious they are about making improvements. The team aims to have a roster ready by day one that will be attractive to any QB, and they’re targeting two in particular.
Fields and Darnold are at the top of their list, with Fields still the preferred option, though an offer to Darnold is being prepared as the Steelers work to secure one of them. Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers are also still under consideration as backup plans, and the team is not ruling out adding a rookie quarterback as a depth option.
Metcalf is expected to be just the beginning of several moves to enhance the offense, with upgrades at running back and offensive line also in the works.
The Steelers are just getting started, and they know securing a top quarterback is key. With Fields still their top target, the trade for Metcalf sends a clear message. More moves are on the horizon to solidify their plan.
