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.

Pittsburgh Steelers ownership said less than two months ago that it was intent on bringing back either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields as the starting QB in 2025, but the likelihood of either outcome has significantly decreased in the weeks since.

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.
