Steelers insider Mark Kaboly says it is a coin flip if Austin returns. The Steelers generally let go of coaches once their contracts have expired, but according to Kaboly, Austin has one year left on his deal. As a result, Kaboly says bringing Austin back is basically a coin flip, considering the circumstances.

The Pittsburgh Steelers allowed Justin Fields to serve as Russell Wilson's sous chef before allowing the veteran to cook. What resulted was another template Mike Tomlin season of late as Pittsburgh played just well enough to make the playoffs but nowhere close to good enough to seriously compete in the AFC.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ season came crashing down over the final five weeks, as Mike Tomlin’s squad saw a 10-3 record disintegrate into five consecutive losses. The last of those defeats came at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round in a 28-14 beatdown to end the Steelers’ season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are more likely to re-sign Justin Fields than not, according to insider Gerry Dulac. During his weekly chat, Dulac gave optimism that the team would not only bring back Fields, but do it for a contract that will not break the bank.
