With Justin Fields set to enter free agency at the start of the new league year, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is endorsing a contract extension for the young signal-caller.

The Pittsburgh Steelers may be facing stiff competition in retaining quarterback Justin Fields, with a surprising team emerging as a serious contender.

In the week leading up to the NFL free agency period, there was a growing sentiment that the Pittsburgh Steelers were prioritizing re-signing either quarterback Justin Fields or Russell Wilson prior to free agency — both of whom are set to become free agents at the start of the new league year.

As the Steelers and Mike Tomlin face a huge decision at quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger reveals who he believes is the best choice between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

The Steelers have been talking to both Justin Fields and Russell Wilson for weeks, but no signing has taken place. It can naturally be assumed complications have interfered with the team’s rumored plan to retain Fields.
