Fields option, Big swings, Mike Florio

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

Hour 2: It’s been reported that the Steelers are not exercising the 5th year option for Justin Fields. But is there a chance they could make a deal with Fields before the season begins? Then what would they do with Russell Wilson in that instance? How good would the numbers need to be for Wilson to keep him around beyond this season?

Could the Steelers kick the tires on one of the QBs that will likely go later in the 1st round like Michael Penix Jr. or Bo Nix? Should the Steelers make a big swing on a trade tomorrow night and try to make the biggest splash of the 1st round?

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said everyone has gotten “quiet” on the trade involving Brandon Aiyuk and he isn’t sure the 49ers will get the 20th overall pick from the Steelers if the deal is made. Mike gave a few other teams that could be in on Aiyuk. Mike doesn’t think it is a coincidence that the Steelers are restructuring the deal of Alex Highsmith right ahead of the draft. The guys asked Mike if Courtland Sutton should be one the Steelers’ target list if they can’t land Aiyuk. He thinks the Steelers will at least consider drafting Michael Penix if he is available at 20th overall. How can the Steelers make a deal with Justin Fields?
