WATCH: Steelers' Art Rooney II open to QB deal. Could Bears' Justin Fields be an option?

In this clip from his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to react to Steelers owner Art Rooney II's openness to a QB trade despite Kenny Pickett's presence on the roster. Could the Bears' Justin Fields be a fit as that team eyes USC's Caleb Williams in April's NFL draft? Does Fields or Pickett fit new OC Arthur Smith's offense better? What about possible veteran free agent targets including Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill and Kirk Cousins? And how far could Kenny Pickett have helped the Super Bowl-bound 49ers advance had he switched places with their current signal caller, Brock Purdy?
