Jets insider predicts Justin Fields will choose New York over Steelers

Davante Adams Eyes Pittsburgh Steelers for 2025 Season
Big news in the NFL world—star wide receiver Davante Adams, who was traded to the New York Jets during the 2024 season, seems to have his sights set on the Pittsburgh Steelers for 2025. While his current contract lets him decide where to play next, Adams recently mentioned he'd love to suit up for the Steelers and play under head coach Mike Tomlin.
Adams’ time with the Jets didn’t go as planned, and a return there seems pretty unlikely. Instead, he’s expressed interest in playing for Tomlin, a coach who’s earned a reputation for keeping his teams consistently competitive. The Steelers haven’t had a losing season under Tomlin, even if their playoff success has been dry lately—they haven’t won a postseason game since 2016.
The Steelers could use a talent like Adams. It’s been a while since they had a top-tier receiver like Antonio Brown, and while George Pickens has potential, his numbers this past season weren’t exactly eye-popping. Adding Adams, who’s put up at least 997 receiving yards for seven straight seasons, could give Pittsburgh a deadly 1-2 combo. Pairing Adams with Pickens would take their offense to another level.
Here’s the catch—Adams alone won’t solve the Steelers’ offensive struggles. They’ve been stuck in QB limbo since Ben Roethlisberger retired. The team is always decent enough to avoid high draft picks, making it tough to land a top quarterback prospect. Even if Adams joins, Pittsburgh still has to figure out their quarterback situation.
Mike Tomlin’s leadership is a big reason players want to join the Steelers. He’s one of the most respected coaches in the league and consistently gets the best out of his teams. It’s no surprise Adams is drawn to that kind of culture.
Adams has options. He could basically choose any team he wants. There’s even talk of him reuniting with his old teams, the Packers or Raiders. But if he does head to Pittsburgh, the Steelers will have to make some big decisions at quarterback.
They could try trading up in the draft for a promising QB, explore free agency, or work with what they’ve got. Names like Sam Darnold, Kirk Cousins, or maybe even Aaron Rodgers have been floated as potential fits. Either way, signing Adams could push the Steelers to make bold moves at QB.
Stay tuned—things are about to get interesting in Pittsburgh.
