The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a decision on their quarterback for the 2025 season, with Russell Wilson's projected contract rising to $77.5 million over two years. This marks a significant increase from his 2024 salary. Steelers fans are reacting negatively to Wilson's high price tag, favoring younger quarterback Justin Fields instead. Fields had a successful stint as a starter in 2024, leading the team to a 4-2 record. Wilson has expressed a desire to stay in Pittsburgh but may need to accept a pay cut for that to happen. Fans are increasingly leaning towards Fields as the preferred option due to his performance and lower cost.
