Justin Fields has one demand to return to Steelers

PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on SteelersNOW.com.

Steelers quarterback Justin Fields reportedly has one demand if he’s going to re-sign with Pittsburgh, and that’s a realistic shot to start. That wasn’t the case last season when Russell Wilson was in pole position to start and eventually replaced Fields in Week 7 after he recovered from his calf injury.

If the Steelers bring in a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers or Matthew Stafford, Fields most likely will move on from Pittsburgh.

“This one’s complicated because I do know there’s some sentiment in the building for bringing back Justin Fields,” Jeremy Fowler of ESPN said on SportsCenter. “Both sides, Fields and the Steelers, are certainly open to a potential reunion. Fields wants a realistic shot to start. He wants a clear path to be the guy for a full season, which he was not last year.”
