Fear of losing Wilson and Fields in 2025!

Well those 75 might make into @S.T.D 's top 150 after his first 75 CBs.

 

So far you are very correct.

 

LoL

 

I have no memory of them ever doing that

Although I have no memory of what I had for breakfast

 

I think a team like the Jets may kick the tires on Fields.

 

This a unique situation in which we have zero QB's signed for next season. Let's say we are 11-5 with a week to go in the season are we just going to let Wilson go on the open market or are the Steelers going to try and sign him up for a couple of more years. I can't imagine that the Steelers just thank him for a good a season and say good luck on your next team. They have to try and get him a contract before the season is over.

 

All great points, and I'm not saying they won't My Friend....all I'm saying is I never remember them doing it before, but again.....You are correct....this is a unique situation.

 

I don't ever remember them doing it, either, but Khan isn't Colbert. I wouldn't be shocked to see him break that tradition if the situation warranted it.

 

Never knew this. Where I live the S is pronounced. And with your attitude at times Arkansas is now Arkan-sass

 

I'm not worried since we are signing a kid out of college in the 6th round or later and his name ends in Y.

 

I doubt about a bidding war for Wilson and I expect we will offer him a deal he will accept. If I`m wrong about that, Fields is plan B.

It`s a good setup for management. Try to sign Wison first. If you get that, you can let Fields go. Both guys lose a little leverage in this situation.

 

no way they franchise him. he has at least 2 more years in him, so do a 3 yr deal

 

correct. nothing will get done during the season. they will watch it ALL unfold and finish, then have a nice meeting on a warm island somewhere - and figure it ALL OUT!!!

 

I've been saying this all along. Wilson is playing for his legacy. He doesn't need the money, he needs success. He's wealthy and famous, his wife is wealthy and famous. At this point $10 million a year ($30 mil v. $40 mil) means little to him.

 

Wilson is a very loyal type guy and as long as we keep Fields in some packages ... we will be able to keep them both.

I hear all your concerns, but with Omar khan being able to wheel and deal ... if they want to keep them both ... then, he will find a way to do so.

 

I’ll agree for younger athletes, but after a certain age you’re also concerned about stability and, ultimately, winning. You want to get to the big dance, or you want to get back to the big dance. And Pittsburgh, I believe, gives Russ the best chance.

 

What evidence is there that Wilson is a loyal guy?

Why is Fields going to want to stay to be the backup?

 

I think Wilson fits the future better.
I doubt Fields is going to get different and better.

Wilson fits the picture because he's at the end of his career and a perfect place to bring in a quality draft pick QB to inherit the franchise label.
I'd be willing to secure Wilson with a decent contract. I doubt he would be opposed to a 3-year deal.

But to your point, there are teams that might spend on Wilson like that Peter Pumpkin eater looking Raiders owner.
That is a risk.

 

Steelers can wait until 2026... a better QB draft class IF they extend Wilson 2-3 years. Steelers need a DE/DT in round 1 badly.... and the '25 draft is much deeper at DL than QB.

 

i think a number of teams will, I doubt he will be here unless Wilson jumps ship and THIS WHOLE SEASON falls into the CRAPPER in the next 5 weeks!

Sign Russ
Find a veteran QB for back up (cheap insurance - heck - Rudolph might want to come back!!) LOL
Keep Allen as #3 (unless he can be #2?)

 

I hope this

 

Peter Pumpkin eater made me laugh. I'd like to know who cuts his hair
