Did the Steelers get too cute with Justin Fields, their supposed preferred option? And would signing Aaron Rodgers be a mistake?

The Pittsburgh Steelers gambled when they didn’t extend quarterback Justin Fields after acquiring him from the Chicago Bears last offseason. Pittsburgh likely wanted more proof of concept from Fields before it gave him a raise from the $3.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost quarterback Justin Fields to the New York Jets for a huge deal. New York will pay Fields $40 million over two years, with $30 million of that money being guaranteed.
