It all started with the possibility Justin Fields would be headed to the Steel City to play for a coach who it’s been reported favors him. The marketplace then took Fields in strange places, even while he actually went nowhere in a colorless offseason. It might only be appropriate if he winds up in Pittsburgh playing this year, at least at first behind the quarterback he tried to emulate, Russell Wilson. There is plenty of momentum in this direction, even if there are no actual reports it is happening. Bears DB Jonathan Owens on Being Married to Simone Biles Bears…
