Pittsburgh Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II said on Monday that it's unlikely the team will re-sign both impending free-agent quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields this offseason. "I wouldn't close the door but I'd say it's probably unlikely. I think both of them see themselves as starters and I don't know that they want to share the same job again next year," Rooney said. Wilson has already said that he'd love to stay in Pittsburgh, but it's probably more likely that the 36-year-old walks instead of Fields, who opened the 2024 campaign as the starter with Wilson nursing a calf injury. Wilson initially gave Pittsburgh's offense more of a spark, but he finished off the year with five straight losses, including another first-round playoff exit in a defeat at the hands of the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. With former head coach Pete Carroll joining the Raiders, Wilson could be looking to reunite with Carroll in the desert.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac writes that in all likelihood, the Pittsburgh Steelers will start the 2025 season with a new starting quarterback, and he thinks that Justin Fields will be given the job. It's the third time in the last four years that the Steelers head into the offseason with uncertainty at the most important position. Both Fields and Russell Wilson will be free agents, and it's highly unlikely the Steelers will bring them both back. With the way the season ended with five straight losses and a disconnect with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, Dulac believes the Steelers will let Wilson walk. Fields, meanwhile, is only 25 and showed improvement in his 10 games played (six starts), completing a career-high 65.8% of his passes for 1,106 yards, five TDs and one interception while adding 289 rushing yards and five more scores.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown is an intriguing flyer for Sunday's meeting with the Buffalo Bills. The 27-year-old has seen his snap share elevate each week he's been active since working back from a preseason shoulder injury, building up to 34 (67%) in Kansas City's Divisional win over the Houston Texans. Though he got his most work on the field, Brown garnered just two targets and didn't record a catch. However, it's worth noting there were four other Chiefs pass-catchers to notch a target and nary a reception. Before his most recent goose egg, the Oklahoma product racked up at least four catches and 45 yards in his other two appearances, so he could see more work in a competitive game. Fortunately, he'll get just that, as this matchup brandishes a robust 48-point over/under with the Chiefs a slim 1.5-point home favorite.
