The former Bears star said the Steelers were not the only NFL team that inquired about his services when Chicago was engaged in trade talks earlier this year.
A change of scenery seems to have worked out for quarterback Justin Fields. The 25-year-old's time with the Chicago Bears came to an end when the team agreed to a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers in March. The Bears received a conditional draft pick in exchange for Fields.
According to Fields, the Los Angeles Chargers, Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders were all vying for his services this offseason. 'I’m not sure of all the teams, but there were a lot of teams that already had solidified quarterbacks, and I didn’t want to do that,' Fields said. 'Chargers were one. Ravens were another. Raiders, they talked a little bit … who else was in there, I don’t know.
Fields has only committed one turnover through the first three games of the season and the Steelers defense has stymied opponents. The combination has created a winning formula. The Steelers travel to Indianapolis this weekend for a Week 4 matchup with the Colts. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
