The\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0have turned over their\u00a0quarterback\u00a0room for the second offseason in a row.<\/p>\n

Last year’s starters are both in New York now, as Russell Wilson signed a free agent deal with the Giants, and\u00a0Justin Fields\u00a0joined the Jets.<\/p>\n

While the Giants could still add a quarterback in the upcoming\u00a0NFL Draft with the No. 3 overall pick, the Jets are moving forward with Fields as their starter in 2025.<\/p>\n

Jets general manager Darren Mougey said on Sunday that Fields is the guy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe Justin is the starter,\u201d\u00a0Mougey said, via video from SNYJets. \u201cWe believe in Justin. We believe we can win with Justin. We\u2019re excited about Justin\u2019s potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

It will be Fields’ third team in three seasons after joining the Steelers via trade last offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has a quiet confidence about himself,\u201d\u00a0Jets coach Aaron Glenn told Judy Battista of NFL Media. \u201cHe can really throw the deep ball really, really well. Obviously, his legs are something that\u2019s dynamic not just in college but the NFL as well. I just think he\u2019s ready to break out as a top-notch quarterback.<\/p>\n

“So, he\u2019s going to do everything he can to be one of the better ones and we are going to coach our asses off to make sure he does a good job out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fields started six games last season for the Steelers, posting a 4-2 record before Wilson recovered from a calf injury. The former Broncos and Seahawks QB took over and went 6-5 as Pittsburgh lost it’s final five games including the Wild Card matchup with Baltimore in the postseason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
