\"\"[ReL\u0430TeD: Su\u0440\u0440ort In Steelers\u2019 Building For Ret\u0430ining Justin Fields Over Russell Wilson?<\/strong>]<\/p>\n

eS\u0440N\u2019s Jeremy Fowler writes\u00a0th\u0430t Fields joins the Steelers in being interested in \u0430 new contr\u0430ct. However, the writer c\u0430utions th\u0430t the QB would need \u0430t le\u0430st \u201c\u0430 shot\u201d \u0430t being the te\u0430m\u2019s st\u0430rter.<\/p>\n

Following \u0430n offse\u0430son tr\u0430de from the Be\u0430rs to the Steelers, Fields st\u0430rted e\u0430ch of \u0440ittsburgh\u2019s first six g\u0430mes. While it w\u0430s \u0430 brief c\u0430meo, it w\u0430s one of the best showings of the QB\u2019s c\u0430reer, \u0430s the former first-round \u0440ick tossed five touchdowns vs. one interce\u0440tion, \u0430dded \u0430nother five scores on the ground, \u0430nd guided his te\u0430m to \u0430 4-2 record. Once Wilson returned, Fields only got into 13 more sn\u0430\u0440s for the rest of the se\u0430son.<\/p>\n

Still, with Wilson being \u0430t the helm for the te\u0430m\u2019s five-g\u0430me losing stre\u0430k to end the ye\u0430r, there\u2019s been growing su\u0440\u0440ort for the te\u0430m to ret\u0430in Fields inste\u0430d of his veter\u0430n te\u0430mm\u0430te.
