Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton would use Steelers QB Russell Wilson as trade bait.
as trade bait if he were the general manager of the Pittsburgh Steelers . Newton, who joined ESPN’s First Take for the first time on Friday, believes Justin Fields has already proven he is the team’s quarterback by the way the team has rallied around him.
Newton pointed to teams such as the Miami Dolphins as groups that should end up calling the Steelers about Wilson amid Tua Tagovailoa’s recovery from a concussion. "Honestly, use Russell Wilson as trade value,” Newton said. “The fact that Miami Dolphins haven’t reached out to Pittsburgh is beyond me, especially with the specific situation at this particular point in time. I know we’ve seen enough in Pittsburgh to really crown Justin Fields, and they’ve said it without really saying it. The whole morale of the team, guys are fighting for him. They’re playing for him.
There is a lot of talk about the Steelers moving on from Wilson, but it does not appear that the Steelers themselves have any plans. The trade deadline is just over three weeks on November 5. Wilson holds a no-trade clause in his contract, so he would have to approve of his new destination before a trade could be executed.
Either way, Wilson is still listed as the QB1 on the depth chart and will take one more week to ‘shake the rust off’ as head coach Mike Tomlin put it. That likely means that the Steelers are viewing him as someone they can turn to as their starting quarterback after this game in Las Vegas, especially if Fields struggles like he did against the Cowboys., where our team of sports betting experts has reviewed the experience, payout speed, parlay options and quality of odds for multiple sportsbooks.
