Pittsburgh Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II said his "preference" was to re-sign starting quarterback Russell Wilson or backup Justin Fields for 2025. Therefore, some assumed the Steelers would bring Wilson back after Fields agreed to join the New York Jets in free agency.

As the Pittsburgh Steelers search for their next quarterback, Jameis Winston has emerged as a candidate, albeit as a backup plan.

There are arguments both for and against bringing back either Wilson or Fields, but picking between one of them is also the Steelers' most logical remaining option.
