There may be more than meets the eye regarding Steelers QB Justin Fields and his polite refusal to meet with media reporters this past Monday.
The Pittsburgh Steelers organization has been bombarded with questions about how the 2024 season ended, how the team will address several key players set to hit free agency in the coming months, and the team’s direction heading into 2025.
Steelers QB Russell Wilson hinted at what the team’s 2025 direction at signal-caller may look like, saying this about re-signing and playing with the Steelers for one more season: “That’s the plan.”
Was Fields part of this ‘plan’? And if he wasn’t, does the athletic QB see the writing on the wall regarding his future with the team?
Justin Fields also politely declined to speak with the media today. #Steelers #NFL

HC Mike Tomlin may have been trying to do damage control over the situation when he stated on Tuesday that Fields had shown enough growth to be considered for the 2025 starting nod.
What do you all think about the situation? Is Fields’ lack of interest in speaking with reporters as simple as that, or does he truly envision his NFL future elsewhere?
