The Pittsburgh Steelers seem set on retaining one of Justin Fields or Russell Wilson, but just which one will return remains anyone’s best guess. However, if Fields leaves, could he end up on one of the Steelers’ top rivals?

Tyler Brooke of the 33rd Team believes that Fields’ best fit is with the Baltimore Ravens as Lamar Jackson’s backup for a year, where he could hone his skills under offensive coordinator Todd Monken.

“While Fields would likely never see the field, he’d have an opportunity to work side by side with arguably the best quarterback in the NFL right now, Lamar Jackson. The potential three-time MVP has found out how to develop as a lethal passer without sacrificing his mobility, which is something that Fields could benefit from,” Brooke writes. “For the Ravens, there aren’t many other suitable QB2 options that fit what they do. Journeyman veteran Josh Johnson was the backup this year, but the 38-year-old is unlikely to come back this offseason, with retirement more likely on that table.”

Fields, who came to Pittsburgh via trade from Chicago in the offseason, started the first six games of the 2024 and led the Steelers to a 4-2 record. He threw for 1,106 passing yards, five touchdowns, and one interception and added over 200 yards on the ground and another five touchdowns.
