If the Pittsburgh Steelers decide to fully commit to winning a Super Bowl in 2024, trading QB Justin Fields to acquire more talent at receiver, offensive line, or cornerback would make the team immediate contenders. Speculating on potential destinations for the young QB, here are the 5 most likely trade destinations for Justin Fields.

Miami Dolphins:

While Dolphins’ QB Tua Tagovailoa is expected back in Week 8, the team still has major concerns and questions regarding his overall health.

Carolina Panthers:

Rumors have begun to swirl about whether Carolina has lost hope in QB Bryce Young being the future of their franchise and could be looking for a long-term solution elsewhere.

Las Vegas Raiders:

After adding QB Aiden O’Connell to IR, who had replaced a benched Gardner Minshew, the team is missing their true signal-caller in 2024. Fields presents himself as a proven option over a potential 2025 rookie QB.

New Orleans Saints:

After Derek Carr went down with an injury, all eyes turned to rookie fifth-round QB Spencer Rattler, who has struggled, to say the least. Fields could instantly come in and help the team compete for a playoff spot.

Cleveland Browns:

While highly unlikely, the Steelers’ AFC North rivals present themselves as an ideal landing spot for Fields. The team could offer Pittsburgh elite wide receivers and great offensive linemen. However, even though QB Deshaun Watson is reportedly out for the season, bad blood in the rivalry could prevent the trade from ever happening.
