UNBELIEVABLE: Steelers GM Omar Khan startled the squad and the entire NFL community with shocking decision over QB Justin Fields.

BREAKING: Steelers GM Omar Khan Announces Decision to Cut Veteran QB Justin Fields.

PITTSBURGH, – In a surprising move, Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Omar Khan has formally announced the team’s decision to cut veteran quarterback Justin Fields. The announcement, made earlier today, comes just months after Fields joined the Steelers in a highly anticipated acquisition.

 

Khan addressed the media in a press conference, explaining the rationale behind the team’s decision.

“After careful evaluation of our roster and considering the direction we want to take moving forward, we have made the difficult decision to release Justin Fields,” Khan stated. “Justin is a talented athlete with a strong work ethic, but ultimately, we felt this was the best decision for the organization as we continue to build our team for the future.”

While Fields was expected to compete for a starting or backup role, sources inside the organization suggest that his performance in training camp and preseason practices did not meet the coaching staff’s expectations. Additionally, the emergence of younger quarterbacks on the roster played a role in the decision.

“We have a lot of confidence in the guys we have in our quarterback room,” Khan continued. “This move allows us to focus on the players who fit best into our system and long-term plans.”

Fields, a former first-round pick, was initially seen as a potential long-term option for the Steelers, but his release now leaves questions about his future in the NFL. He has yet to comment publicly on the decision, but reports indicate that several teams may express interest in the 25-year-old quarterback.

With this move, the Steelers reaffirm their commitment to building a team around stability and performance. As the offseason continues, all eyes will be on Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation and whether they look to add another signal-caller before the season kicks off.
