Steelers HC Mike Tomlin has voiced strong support for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields.
The Chicago Bears face a defining moment this offseason with their quarterback situation, as indications suggest they will part ways with Justin Fields and opt for Caleb Williams with the first overall pick in the draft.
With Fields likely on his way out of Chicago, there's anticipated to be considerable interest in his services despite some setbacks and a string of losses with the Bears.
Several teams in need of a quarterback, unable to secure one of the top prospects in the draft, will explore options both within and outside the league.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have emerged as a potential landing spot for Fields, given their own uncertainties at the quarterback position. ESPN insider Adam Schefter highlighted the Steelers' interest in Fields during an appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show," citing head coach Mike Tomlin's admiration for the young quarterback.
"We know Pittsburgh's going to go out and get some type of quarterback, whether that's Ryan Tannehill, whether that's Russell Wilson, whether that's Justin Fields," Schefter explained. "Mike Tomlin is a big fan of Justin Fields, keep that in mind during the offseason and the coming weeks."
With the Steelers holding the 20th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, they're unlikely to secure a top prospect. Therefore, a potential trade scenario could see the Bears acquiring Pittsburgh's No. 20 pick, possibly along with another Day 2 or Day 3 selection, in exchange for Fields.
While Fields' tenure in Chicago hasn't unfolded as expected, the responsibility for his development falls on various shoulders, including the Bears' coaching staff. Nonetheless, his dynamic abilities on the field suggest that with the right support and coaching, he could potentially revitalize his career.
