Steelers Insider Shoots Down Justin Fields Trade

Maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers aren't the right fit for Justin Fields.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are in search of competition with Kenny Pickett this offseason, but maybe an option many have named their top choice isn't their ideal option. 

Justin Fields' name has been mentioned alongside the Steelers plenty of times this offseason, and over the last several days, that engagement has ramped up. So much so that they're believed to be one of three teams who reach out to the Chicago Bears for a potential trade and have even had projected trades predict what it will take for Pittsburgh to acquire Fields. 

But Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac doesn't see the match. In his weekly chat, Dulac explains how, maybe, the Fields hype is a little out of control and that what the Steelers are looking for may not line up with a splashy trade. 

"I can't imagine Fields wanting to sign with a team where he won't be the No. 1 QB. And I don't believe the Steelers are in the market for a No. 1 QB," Dulac wrote. 

The Steelers are the running favorites to land Fields, and many insiders have said there are a few "fans" of the young quarterback within their coaching staff and front office. But if the stars don't align, they'll look elsewhere - with Mason Rudolph still their most-likely signing this offseason.
