Schultz: Jets Most In Fields, Giants ‘In On’ Wilson
If Justin Fields or Russell Wilson (or each) find yourself not returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers, they might rapidly discover new properties. Doubtlessly not removed from one another, too. In keeping with Fox Sports activities’ Jordan Schultz, each quarterbacks have a “robust” market with the New York Jets most excited about Fields and the New York Giants “in on” Wilson.
Schultz additionally notes Pittsburgh has stored talks going with Fields and Wilson heading into the ultimate weekend forward of free company.
Schultz quickly added the Jets are excessive on Fields, intrigued by his athleticism and perception his “greatest soccer is forward of him.”
It’s not a lot of an replace and hardly presents model new data. However it’s the strongest language used to attach each quarterbacks to exterior venues.
To date, two quarterback dominoes have fallen. The Los Angeles Rams retained Matthew Stafford whereas the Seattle Seahawks traded QB Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders. It nonetheless leaves a number of groups in want of a quarterback, together with the Seahawks, who appear to be in-play for Sam Darnold. The Minnesota Vikings might stick to J.J. McCarthy and add a lower-level veteran, a reunion with Kirk Cousins has been speculated, whereas the Cleveland Browns additionally make sense as Cousins’ subsequent touchdown spot (the Atlanta Falcons could be on the hook for many of his wage, making him a reasonable veteran signing).
The Tennessee Titans maintain the No. 1 general decide with sights on Miami (FL)’s Cam Ward, leaving the Steelers, Jets, and Giants jockeying for basically three names: Justin Fields, Russell Wilson, and Aaron Rodgers.
After all, Rodgers is exiting the Jets however is reportedly on the Giants’ radar. The Steelers have publicly said a want to maintain Fields or Wilson, although no deal has been struck with both. Rodgers appears unlikely however not unattainable with the PPG’s Gerry Dulac floating the concept after as soon as utterly dismissing the likelihood.
However all of that is to say: nobody is aware of. Even The Athletic’s Dianna Russini admitted as a lot Friday afternoon.
Language over the Steelers’ quarterback scenario has been cautious and infrequently obscure. It’s constantly been reporting that Fields is “within the lead” or “has the sting,” however they’re meaningless phrases with out a lot enamel, defending towards the actual probability he doesn’t return. No outsider names have been confidently linked to the workforce, partly as a result of Pittsburgh appears intent on re-signing one in every of their very own.
However till there’s a solution, there’s solely extra hypothesis. By this time subsequent week, the quarterback market ought to be settled. Not a second too quickly.
