BREAKING: Steelers GM Makes Honest admission on Wild Justin Fields trade Rumor
The Pittsburgh Steelers made headlines when running back Jaylen Warren mentioned that the team’s special teams coordinator, Danny Smith, had suggested backup quarterback Justin Fields could be used as a kick returner this season.
- Warren expressed excitement about the possibility, saying “Justin Fields is going to be back there?”
- This sparked widespread discussion about the Steelers potentially utilizing their young quarterback in the return game, especially after signing All-Pro returner Cordarrelle Patterson.
The Steelers have now shut down these rumors, with a source inside the organization calling the idea “preposterous” and “complete f’ing horse crap.”
- Fields is expected to compete for the starting quarterback job, but is viewed as the team’s long-term answer at the position, making him an unlikely choice as a kick returner.
While the idea of Fields returning kicks was an exciting prospect, the Steelers have made it clear that this will not be happening. Instead, Cordarrelle Patterson is expected to handle the return duties for the team this season.
