There’s no denying Justin Fields has been good for the Pittsburgh Steelers early into the season. If the team feels that he’s the quarterback of their future, they may consider trading Russell Wilson to two possible teams ahead of the deadline.
As the Steelers navigate their quarterback situation, Wilson’s presence adds an intriguing dynamic. Known for his leadership and experience, Wilson has garnered respect from teammates, who have praised his ability to guide and inspire. However, with Fields leading the team to a perfect 3-0 record, questions about Wilson’s future role have intensified.
While Wilson is recovering from injury, his potential return raises concerns about disrupting the rhythm that Fields has established. If Fields continues his winning streak, it will be challenging for the coaching staff to justify sidelining him in favor of Wilson, even with the latter’s impressive track record.
The Steelers’ offensive performance under Fields has shown significant improvement, with him executing the game plan effectively. His ability to adapt and thrive in the system has highlighted some of the inconsistencies seen during his time with the Chicago Bears. This newfound comfort could make it difficult for Wilson to reclaim his starting position once healthy.
NFL Mock Trade Names Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots as Possible Landing Spots for Russell Wilson
If Fields continues to play well for the Steelers, Wilson may become the odd one out down the line. According to Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox, the Steelers may consider trading the quarterback to the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots.
“Wilson is a terrific insurance policy, but the nine-time Pro Bowler could be an even better stopgap option for a team in need of a starter.
The Miami Dolphins have placed Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve with his latest concussion, and they are the most obvious landing spot for the 35-year-old. Miami got poor results from Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle in Week 3. If recent addition Tyler Huntley isn’t any better, the 1-2 Dolphins could become desperate.
The New England Patriots could also consider Wilson—if Jacoby Brissett continues to underwhelm and the Pats believe rookie Drake Maye still isn’t ready,” Knox wrote.
As the Steelers prepare for their upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, the stakes are high. A strong performance from Fields could solidify his status as the starter, further complicating the decision-making process when Wilson returns. The coaching staff faces a delicate balance between honoring Wilson’s experience and recognizing Fields’ current success.
Ultimately, the Steelers’ quarterback conundrum hinges on their performance in the next few games. How the situation unfolds will significantly impact the team’s dynamics and their approach for the rest of the season.
