Among the teams said to be interested in Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Since the Bears are expected to choose a quarterback with the first overall choice in this year’s draft, Fields has been the focus of multiple trade rumors. With Kenny Pickett’s lackluster performance thus far, the Steelers may consider starting a different quarterback.
When asked if the Steelers might trade for Justin Fields, general manager Omar Khan declined to comment in the traditional manner of a general manager.
“I’m not going to go into details about the conversations that we’ve had but like I mentioned earlier, I can tell you that I have an obligation to look at every avenue that’s out there to try and make this a better football team,” Khan stated.
This response shouldn’t surprise anyone. When a situation is unstable, a general manager won’t merely openly acknowledge taking action.
They seem to have all alternatives available to them, including bringing in one of Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, or Justin Fields, or running it back with Pickett and Mason Rudolph.
The Black & Gold should have a fascinating few week ahead of them.
