The next month will shape Justin Fields’ trade market

Bears quarterback Justin Fields leaves the field after the Packers game in 2022.

There’s poetry in the possibility that the Steelers’ decision to cut a former Bears first-round quarterback Monday could portend their interest in their current one.

Mitch Trubisky’s release on Monday means the Steelers are in the market for a quarterback to push — or replace — Kenny Pickett. That could be Russell Wilson, who’s expected to be released by the Broncos, or maybe Ryan Tannehill, who worked with new Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith in Tennessee. Or it could be Justin Fields, who might have the most intriguing upside of any starting quarterback made available this offseason.
