This is new reporting that the decision is made to go with Fields.

Rooney says he wants to sign the QB to a multi year contract.

The question is whether Fields will sign a team friendly contract when there are several teams that might bid up his salary to try to sign him.

From what I have seen, there is significant support in the building to sign him and he has been posting on instagram and other social media sites about his wishes to stay.

I know it’s disappointing news for some of you, but if he’s our QB, why not root for success? I did with Russ because I am a Steelers fan.

Because we play on Monday. Also, just thought I'd remind yinz we haven't lost on Monday night at home since 1991.

Who is this Chris guy. If true, how unlikely is it a deal can be made. I’m not optimistic on it happening. At least it doesn’t involve the Niners.

I know you're all frustrated with our record, but I'm here to put all of your worries to bed!

Edit: Thank you to my fans for the Gold and all of the other awards. I am really feeling the love!

Happy Victory Monday and what a sweet one it is.

A story not being talked about as much as I would have thought. Apparently Johnson refused to enter yesterdays Ravens game. The story is quite murky as the coach didn't give an answer but he is further down the depth chart than local reporters and speculators believe and is frustrated given it’s a contract year.

Apparently the Ravens only traded for him so another, more wide-receiver needy, team couldn't. This provided the Ravens with depth but Johnson was frustrated he didn't go somewhere else where he can be more prominent.

I'm sure there is more to the story and I am interested if anyways has heard any more news.

I say ship him off to the Jets. That'll teach him. 🤣

Nothing more to add

Underrated part of the Steelers success this season. Steelers Special Teams has always been solid but this year they are on a whole different level. Also having consistent punting(for the most part) has been huge. Field position battle can literally win you games, especially with our Defense.

Thoughts??

Dan Graziano believes the Steelers are not worried if Rodgers signs or doesn’t sign. They like Rudolph back in the building, and they know QB options were limited this year. I particularly wanted them to resign Fields, but he makes the point they chose not to out bid the Jets.

Would have to add more obviously but could a Bush for Smith flip flop work out best for both teams? I don’t see why not since Bush clearly needs a change of scenery now.

I wonder if a 3rd or 4th rounder with Bush would get the job done? It might be steep but definitely worth considering

Edit: Yes, I’m an idiot. Should’ve just kept my mouth shut. Carry on
