Fields was dealt in the middle of March to the Steelers for a conditional sixth-round pick that converts to a fourth-round pick if he takes 51% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps during the 2024 season... The option will surely be declined since Russell Wilson has the inside track to open the season as Pittsburgh's starting quarterback.
The overarching thought since the Steelers acquired Fields via a trade with the Bears several weeks ago has been that it would be quite surprising if the team did pick up his fifth-year option.
It will be interesting to see if the Steelers might try to sign Fields to a short contract extension at a very affordable price... After all, the Steelers don't currently have any quarterbacks under contract past the 2024 season.
