ESPN host Mike Greenberg believes that the Pittsburgh Steelers would become a "Super Bowl candidate" if they were to acquire Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields.
During an airing of ESPN’s "Get Up" program on Wednesday, Greenberg shared his top-five list of moves that he "absolutely believe should happen" in the offseason. At the No. 3 spot, Greenberg made a case for why the Steelers should go all out to trade for Fields.
"I would like to see Justin Fields in Pittsburgh," Greenberg said. "I know the world has him in Atlanta, and there might be a lot of sense to be made in that as well. But I'd like to see Mike Tomlin, with that quarterback, with that opportunity, finally to silence all of the critics — and there are a lot of them locally about what this team can do, about what he can do.
"You put Justin Fields on the Steelers, I think they're a Super Bowl candidate."
The Steelers have been heavily linked with Fields. ESPN’s Adam Schefter recently fueled such speculation when he claimed that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is a "big fan" of the third-year passer.
Fields, on the other hand, may have already donned a Bears jersey in a game for the final time. Fields has been in the trade rumor mill as of late, which comes as the Bears are widely expected to use the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft to select former USC quarterback Caleb Williams.
In the unpredictable world of the NFL, one sure can not rule out the possibility of the Steelers soon bringing in Fields.
