A former executive believes the Pittsburgh Steelers will move on from Russell Wilson.
PITTSBURGH -- One former NFL executive believes there is an easy solution as the Pittsburgh Steelers sort out their quarterback competition ahead of the regular season.
"Unfortunately for Minnesota, history is repeating itself," Tannenbaum said. "We go back to 2016, very unfortunate injury. Teddy Bridgewater had a catastrophic injury at practice. Sam Bradford gets traded from the Eagles to the Vikings. So to me, I think a win-win here is to trade Russell Wilson to Minnesota. I think he's a better quarterback than Sam Darnold."
After Wilson suffered a calf injury during the team's conditioning test, he was limited during team activities as he worked his way back to full-strength. That opened the door for Fields to run with the first-team offense, however, where he impressed and gained some ground on Wilson. Both quarterbacks appeared in Pittsburgh's bout with the Buffalo Bills last Saturday, though it was Wilson who earned the starting nod over Fields. He was on the field for five drives in his Steelers debut, going 8-for-10 for 47 yards, though Pittsburgh did not score with him at the helm.
