The Pittsburgh Steelers have quite the dilemma to face once the 2024 season comes to a close. Both Justin Fields and Russell Wilson will become free agents after their contracts expire unless they agree to a new deal with Pittsburgh before free agency opens up. Pittsburgh has been in quarterback-purgatory ever since Ben Roethlisberger announced his retirement following the 2021 season, but the organization might finally have something special at the position with Wilson and Fields.

Steelers quarterbacks Justin Fields (#2) and Russell Wilson (#3) stretch on the field as the team gets ready to practice during Organized Team Activities at the UPMC Sports Complex in Pittsburgh, PA.

Both quarterbacks have played well for Pittsburgh when they have gotten the chance. Fields led the team to a 4-2 start to the year before being replaced by Wilson. Wilson has started two games, and gone 2-0 in those contests. Fields played well when given the chance, and it is important to note that he wasn’t benched. Wilson was always supposed to be the starter, so once he returned to full health Head Coach Mike Tomlin gave him the starting role.

Steelers’ Russell Wilson and Justin Fields talk while they get warmed up for camp ahead of the 2024 season.

NFL insider Adam Schefter appeared on Rothman & Ice on Wednesday, where he was asked about Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation moving forward. He was specifically asked about each quarterback’s value after the 2024 season and who the Steelers could be leaning towards keeping in 2025. He agreed with the hosts when they suggested Wilson would be worth approximately $30 million per year in free agency.
