Steelers 2-Time Super Bowl champ reveals QB1 pick amid Aaron Rodgers’ availability

With the New York Jets officially moving on from Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, the veteran will now be looking for a new team.

Two-time Super Bowl champion Bryant McFadden believes the Pittsburgh Steelers should pass on Rodgers and instead commit to Justin Fields.

McFadden shared his perspective during Thursday’s episode of The Zach Gelb Show.

“If I’m Pittsburgh, I try to keep Justin Fields in a Steelers uniform,” McFadden said. “Justin Fields will probably be cheaper than Russell Wilson. Having him in the lineup, he adds another playmaker to an offense that lacks playmakers. A year ago… the only offensive playmaker they had was George Pickens. When George wasn’t involved in the game you didn’t have any playmakers.

“With Aaron Rodgers, based on what we saw with him in New York, if the pocket isn’t there he gives you nothing. Justin Fields can actually make you miss.”

In 2024, Justin Fields completed 106 of 161 pass attempts for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception.

Bryant McFadden believes Fields’ youth—at just 25 years old—gives him greater long-term potential compared to veteran quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson.

With a key decision ahead, the Steelers could see Fields as a smart investment for the future.

Why did the Jets and Aaron Rodgers split?

Aaron Rodgers’ time with the New York Jets has officially ended after two seasons. The decision to move on from the veteran quarterback came after newly hired head coach Aaron Glenn took over in New York.

“Last week we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback,” said Glenn and GM Darren Mougey via NewYorkJets.com. “It was important to have this discussion now to provide clarity and enable each of us the proper time to plan for our respective futures.

“We want to thank him for the leadership, passion, and dedication he brought to the organization and wish him success moving forward.”

Rodgers arrived in New York with high expectations, but things didn’t unfold as he had hoped.

“There’s something special about playing in the city, for a team like this with a storied franchise,” Rodgers said said. “Going way, way back to Super Bowl III, to be a part of something special would definitely help you go down in the history of our organization. Already have 18 years in an incredibly iconic organization and it would be fun to be a part of the history of this one, as well.”
