Winners and Losers from Steelers Losing Justin Fields to New York Jets
The Pittsburgh Steelers missed out on Justin Fields, who is heading to the New York Jets as a backup to Aaron Rodgers. This move impacts multiple players and teams.
Winners: Russell Wilson secures his QB1 spot in Pittsburgh without competition from Fields. The Jets add a talented backup and potential future starter at a low cost. Zach Wilson gets a chance for a fresh start elsewhere.
Losers: The Steelers’ front office faces questions about their long-term QB plan. Justin Fields loses a shot at a starting job and will sit behind Rodgers. Kenny Pickett, now with the Eagles, avoids competition but leaves Pittsburgh under uncertain circumstances.
