Pitt should get in on Fields and have him sit behind Russ

Jedi and Padawan?!?

That's yoda level thinking right there.

A 6th??? WTF??? That's crazy.

Good on the Steelers I suppose... they upgraded their QB and gained on draft capital.

could become a 4th rounder

The thing with Fields is that he doesn’t have a contract after this year unless the Steelers pick up his 5th yr option by May 2…. which they won’t since his salary will jump to 25M

Of course, nothing prevents them from extending him if he does ok

Steelers are having a pretty good offseason.

The important part is this.

Now do Pickett Rudolph and Trubisky.

definitely an upgrade — my post was more about why Fields was had for cheaper than most had predicted

My brother, the Bears fan, was apoplectic about only getting a 6th for him.

He should be. That's terrible asset management.

Considering we got a 3rd for Pickett, yes.

i would have been happy with the Pats trading a 6th for him as well. Considering they have the second most cap space in the league, they could have extended him np if he looked good.

I dont think teams both wanted to both pay Fields and give up a strong asset for him.

Steelers can move on if they choose to do so, and i dont think they are going to play him enough to convert the pick into a 4th

Kinda says alot the Raiders of all teams seemingly wanted no part of this, and chose Minshew/O'Connell

We got a 6th Jones so he can go hold Trevor Lawrence’s clipboard. Aw hell, we coulda traded him straight up for Fields.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Clearly the Pats are drafting Maye or Daniels.

Fields would just be a distraction, and an expensive one long term
