Justin Fields is playing on a 4-year deal worth $18.8 million.

Justin Skyler Fields, commonly known as Justin Fields is an American football quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers as of 2024. Drafted 11th overall from the 2021 NFL draft class by the Chicago Bears, Fields' initial journey with the franchise had flashes of brilliance but it wasn’t enough to fill the win column as the Bears record stood at 10-28 with him under center in first three years. With the Bears finishing the 2023 season with the worst record in the league and acquiring the rights of the No.1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, Fields was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2024 offseason. He was given the starting duties before the start of the 2024 season due to Russell Wilson's aggravating calf injury during practice. By the end of November 2024, Fields has started 6 games for the Black and Gold and has a 4-2 record. He has totaled 10 touchdowns during that span while throwing only 1 interception. However, Fields was moved to QB2 after Russell Wilson returned in mid-October.

The Kennesaw, Georgia native began his football journey at Carl Harrison High School in his hometown, where he passed for more than 4,100 yards in two years. He also added another 2k yards on the ground and totaled 69 TDs. The five-star recruit took his talents to the University of Georgia in 2018, before transferring to Ohio State University a year later. He started 22 games for the Buckeyes and led the team to 20 wins in two years. Fields also took Ohio State to two straight College Playoffs in 2019 and 2020.
