The latest odd on quarterback Justin Fields show Pittsburgh is the most likely destination for the Bears quarterback.
Draft Kings has Fields at -125 to come to Pittsburgh. Meaning you’d have to spend $125 to make $100 if Fields is traded to the Steelers.
There is a better chance of Fields coming to Pittsburgh compared to staying in Chicago.
ESPN’s Louis Riddick, former University of Pittsburgh safety, is a fan of Fields coming to Pittsburgh.
“think of the effect Arthur Smith had on Ryan Tannehill when Ryan Tannehill eventually took over for Marcus Mariota when they were down in Tennessee and Arthur was calling plays down there,” said Riddick.
It’s hard for someone like Riddick to say with Kenny Pickett as the Steelers current QB1.
“I don’t want to ever put anyone in front of my boy Kenny Pickett because Kenny’s my guy . . . but Justin Fields is one of those dudes who’d I be like, might have to put him in front of you Kenny, might have to go ahead and work with this because Justin, in that offense, it would work.”
Riddick says the options on the Steelers offense would be just too good.
“The play-action game with Justin under center on first and second down with the dynamic duo that they have at the running back position right here with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, it is perfect, it’s absolutely perfect with the weapons, with George Pickens and Diontae Johnson and Pat Freiermuth, are you kidding,” said Riddick.
Riddick adds that doesn’t mean that Fields wouldn’t be in shotgun as well.
