The Seattle Seahawks were not on anyone’s radar until trading Geno Smith. Now, the Seahawks could be another team that wants in on the Justin Fields sweepstakes. While Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports they are out on Russell Wilson, Fields could now be an option for the Seahawks.
On top of that, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News-Tribune sees Fields as a player who makes a lot of sense for the Seahawks. It seems there might be some smoke behind that.
“Justin Fields turned just 26 this week. With the cap space the Seahawks just created trading Geno Smith, I can see new OC Klint Kubiak thinking Fields may fit his moving, bootleg, quick-pass QB system,” Bell said.
Fields seems to be the Steelers' Plan A as it stands. If the Steelers end up landing Fields on a new deal, it should come in around where former NFL agent Joel Corry is projecting, which is around $10 million per season.
However, to have him signed before Monday, they may have to overpay him. The Steelers are unlikely to do that, and so the quarterback situation could drag out a bit longer than originally anticipated.
