Justin Fields

Steelers running back Jaylen Warren said special teams coach Danny Smith has reportedly discussed Justin Fields returning kicks this season

“I would, I think it’s pretty cool — as soon as you touch the ball that’s when everything starts to happen,” Warren said. “Our special teams coordinator was talking about Justin Fields being back there. . . . We looked at him like, Justin Fields will be back there? I think it’s cool.” This could be something to monitor throughout the remainder of the offseason.

The Steelers are not expected to pick up the fifth-year option of Justin Fields' contract. He will be entering the final year of his contract next season.

After being traded by the Bears earlier this offseason, 2024 will be a make-or-break year for Fields. If and when he beats out Russell Wilson for the starting job, he will be extremely fantasy relevant due to his rushing prowess.

The Bears are trading QB Justin Fields to the Steelers for a 2025 6th-round pick that goes to a 4th-round pick, depending on the amount of time played.

Fields had been the focus of much speculation regarding his landing spot following Chicago's activity in the free agent and trade markets. He now joins newly-acquired Russell Wilson in the Pittsburgh QB room. Fields's fantasy value will depend on whether he is named the starter, which remains to be seen at this point. In three years with Chicago, the 25-year-old threw for 6,674 yards and a 16:9 TD:INT ratio. He also rushed for 2,220 yards and 14 TD.

Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields "remains a trade candidate." Despite being slow, there has been interest and the market has been "evolving."

Fields' key rumored destinations have all been filled within the first 36 hours of the legal tampering period. Atlanta went with Kirk Cousins, Pittsburgh went with Russell Wilson and Las Vegas, Minnesota and New England signed bridge QBs. Fields' next destination may be in a role we didn't initially expect, perhaps as a developmental piece or a backup rather than a Week 1 starter.

Justin Fields is reportedly being discussed in trade talks with Raiders.

The market has been fairly quiet for Fields as of late but it is expected to heat up soon with free agency starting. The Raiders also signed Gardner Minshew. This remains a situation to monitor.
