The Pittsburgh Steelers have several needs heading into the 2024 season. But the need behind center will be discussed more than any of the others.
While discussing Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation on FOX Sports’ Undisputed, NFL analyst and former wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson argued the Steelers should address their quarterback problem by acquiring Chicago Bears signal caller Justin Fields.
“In terms of quarterback fixing for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin, here’s a guy that they should go get. If the Chicago Bears are stupid enough to get rid of Justin Fields — go get Justin Fields, man,” Johnson argued. “Go get Justin Fields and turn Justin Fields into what you should have gotten out of Kenny Pickett.”
Johnson is hardly the first analyst to suggest the Steelers acquiring Fields. Most recently, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky named Fields one of three signal callers the Steelers should inquire about this offseason.
Fields owns a 10-28 record as an NFL starting quarterback. But he’s also displayed a unique dual-threat skillset with his arm and legs. In 2023, Fields threw for 2,562 yards and ran for 657 while scoring 20 total touchdowns.
