Following the acquisition of Russell Wilson and the departure of Kenny Pickett, the team also acquired Bears quarterback Justin Fields, adding youth, athleticism, and potential to their quarterback corps for the future.
Wilson expressed excitement about Fields' arrival with a social media post on Saturday, stating, "Let's get it @justnfields! QB room bout to be 🔥."
Fans and observers alike appreciated Wilson's positive message to the 25-year-old quarterback.
"This is the energy you want from your team. Not that whiny [expletive] drama cry baby [expletive] Kenny was doing," one user responded.
"Been a while since the Steelers had a QB willing to embrace a new addition to the room," tweeted Daniel Valente.
"Now this is how you handle being told there will be a QB being brought in with you. MY MFIN QB's," remarked another user.
"LOVE this," added Robert Griffin III.
According to head coach Mike Tomlin, Wilson will begin the season as the starter, with Fields positioned behind him to learn and develop. The trade for Fields is seen as a strategic move by the Steelers, allowing him time to grow and mature in the role.
For Pittsburgh fans, it's difficult to envision a more promising scenario unfolding this offseason.
