The Pittsburgh Steelers will be at the center of the quarterback carousel until the new league year begins and they put pen to paper with whomever their quarterback will be in the 2025 season. That is, unless, they figure it out beforehand. The Steelers could re-sign Justin Fields before he hits the open market in March, which many believe would be the move that makes the most sense. And according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Steelers feel good about the possibility of Fields returning in 2025.

“I know there is some internal optimism or some sentiment for Justin Fields as an option as their quarterback moving forward, and that both sides are open to a potential deal,” Fowler said on SportsCenter.

Fields went 4-2 as the Steelers’ starter in 2024, totaling 10 touchdowns (five passing, five rushing) and one interception over that span. Keeping the 25 year-old and seeing if he can be the long-term answer is the smartest and most realistic option the Steelers have at their disposal rather than bringing in 41 year-old Aaron Rodgers or running things back with Russell Wilson.
