The Pittsburgh Steelers face uncertainty as Justin Fields appears poised to enter free agency despite the team's interest in retaining him. Recent talks haven’t advanced significantly, and Fields has substantial leverage in negotiations. He performed well with a 4-2 record and notable stats in his games, yet his previous benching has raised doubts about his status within the team. As other franchises, including the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans, show interest, Fields may take advantage of a lucrative market.

If he opts to leave, Pittsburgh may need to explore other quarterback options, including potential trades or the draft, which could disrupt their offseason strategy considerably.
