00:03 They did the deal for Justin Fields for a sixth round pick that can become a fourth

00:09 rounder if he takes 51% of the snaps.

00:12 And they've already admitted that he's the backup.

00:15 He's not competing for the starting job.

00:17 But how do you like when they went from pick it with his 13 TDs and 13 picks.

00:22 And Trubisky and Rudolph, who essentially got him into the playoffs with

00:27 a three game heater at the end of the season to this quarterback room with

00:32 a nine time Pro Bowler who's been to two Super Bowls and Justin Fields with his skills.

00:38 >> Massive upgrade and I know a lot of people are down on Russell Wilson and

00:41 I said it before Scott, you need to separate how much money he was making.

00:45 And separate how much Denver gave up for him and

00:50 actually look at his quarterback play, got 26 touchdowns and 8 interceptions last year.

00:56 Now that was a little bit deceptive, it's not just that.

00:59 He missed a lot of balls, his arm strength isn't the same.

01:03 But Russell Wilson is still better than a lot of quarterbacks in

01:06 the National Football League.

01:08 I think he's a perfect fit for Pittsburgh.

01:10 And I love the roll of the dice on Justin Fields.

01:13 You and I talked about this, we've been talking about this for weeks.

01:16 How Fields would be a good fit in Pittsburgh and especially now.

01:20 He's got Russell Wilson to learn behind right now.

01:24 Fields is a great athlete and I mean, look at as well Scott from a business

01:28 perspective, you're basically paying Russell Wilson the veteran minimum,

01:33 which is what, $1.2 million?

01:36 And the Broncos are paying the rest and

01:38 you just got Justin Fields for a six round draft pick.

01:41 So you got a Super Bowl champion and a Hall of Famer and

01:45 a first round draft pick for a million dollars and a six rounder, bro.

01:49 >> Right.

01:50 >> I mean, and then you bring in Patrick Queen as well.

01:54 And the Steelers have been more active out there.

01:56 You're hearing them shopping around for wide receivers.

01:58 I'd be pretty excited if I was a Steeler fan actually.

02:01 It seems to me that instead of just showing up again, Scott,

02:05 you're the Steelers season, take it over.

02:06 Seems like the Steelers just show up with the same team and

02:10 expect different results.

02:11 Well, we're gonna run the ball, we're gonna do it like, no, you're the same team.

02:15 You don't have any more talent, you're not any more talented.

02:17 Now you're actually saying, you know what,

02:19 we have more talent on the football team right now.

02:22 I think it's been a nice off season for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

02:26 And as far as Bear fan out there that thinks you got fleeced now for

02:30 Justin Fields, the fact of the matter is, guys, look at Kenny Pickett was

02:35 a first round quarterback, I'm surprised he didn't get the fourth rounder for him.

02:39 Matt Jones, bro, Matt Jones was the first round quarterback draft.

02:45 Not just that long ago, he went for a sixth rounder.

02:48 That's the market out there.

02:50 So the Bears did what they're gonna do.

02:52 And I like what the Bears are doing as well, Scott.

02:54 They bring in Keenan Allen, they bring in DeAndre Swift, you've got DJ Moore.

02:58 Now it's up to Caleb Williams, but I'm excited about a lot of these moves.
