bicketybam Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 After picking up Russell Wilson and trading the great Kenny Pickett, the Steelers had one QB on the roster. Now they add a busted first round pick and they are suddenly geniuses. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Good trade for the Steelers. Cheap with potential future upside. They weren’t getting this kind of talent at that pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Wow, I guess there really was no market for him. I guess on the last year of that deal nobody wanted to pay him, which i get but shockingly little comp. Funny to think Trey Lance netted the most comp of the four 2021 QB busts. Time to cut Zach, imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnleyJet Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Wilson’s remaining money is to high 11 million? - No one’s taking that on for Zach, we are defo cutting him, he’s to toxic to be even the 3rd QB on this team. I’m thinking just before or just after the Draft. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They revamped their QB room by signing Wilson for $1.2mm and flipping one guy on a rookie deal for another and “ throwing in” a 6th rd pick. I’d say that was a pretty fantastic feat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, no one’s taking that on either, but just wanted to set the record straight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a weird trade, imho, but they can certainly suck some value out of it. It’s a one year rental with an option to buy, but there’s no chance that they’ll buy in at the fifth-year option cost of over $25M. He’s being brought in as the backup, and probably to hedge their bets with Russ, too, who will also be a free agent next year. Already read a piece speculating that Fields could be the new Slash, brought in mostly to run the ball and change things up. That could be fun to watch. I think if they need to rely on him as a starter for any amount of time, that could be rough. Frankly, I prefer Tyrod in that role. Steelers could easily be looking at 2026 comp picks for both of their QBs after the season. In fact, I think it’s the most likely outcome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playtowinthegame Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I woke up this morning, and I thought, the Steelers got Russell Wilson and Justin Fields for the cost of only a 6th round pick in the 2025 Draft, that can become a 4th round pick. I'm a little jealous. At least the Jets got Rodgers and a great ayahuasca dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense .. it's what Fields really is .. a RB that can sometimes throw .. perfect fit.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence is the only qb in the draft class that deserves to even be a starter. I thought Mac Jones was the second best qb in that draft class and even he ended up busting. Fields is trash. Is Lance even going to be in the league a year for now? Same can be said for Zach once his rookie contract mercifully expires next January lawrence has been good but not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the Jets worst ever draft pick. The fact that he hasn’t been cut yet suggests that JD still thinks he can -at least- get someone to take on some of that salary. Even that would exceed expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he’s been gone 2 years but that was an entire year of development and learning that missed out on because he had an empty suit clown head coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
