Justin Fields’ early struggles with the Jets have drawn attention — and are already validating the Steelers’ move to sign Aaron Rodgers in 2025.

Aaron Rodgers gets to face his former New York Jets teammates when he travels to MetLife Stadium with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. Sauce Gardner, who faced Rodgers in practice every day, says the four-time MVP is nothing short of a ‘wizard,’ and he has added new tendencies to his game to throw off Rodgers.

Since then, and after a long wait, Rodgers decided to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He will play at least one more year in the NFL and will face the Jets in Week 1. Until then and since Rodgers signed on the dotted line, he finally dawned a Steelers jersey for the first time at 2025 minicamp.
