Steelers president Art Rooney II expressed a desire to re-sign either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields for the 2025 season. Both quarterbacks were on one-year contracts in 2024, with Wilson starting most games despite poor offensive performance. Rooney indicated that he does not expect both players to return. He emphasized that signing one of them is a priority for the team's future. The Steelers can begin contract discussions with Wilson and Fields at any time, but no timeline for these talks has been announced.
