US EditionJets make surprising QB decision weeks after adding Justin Fields
- Darren Mougey, the Jets' general manager, announced on Sunday at the annual league meetings in PALM BEACH, Fla., that Justin Fields will be the starting quarterback for the New York Jets.
- The Jets, after a disappointing 5-12 season and the release of Aaron Rodgers, targeted Fields in free agency, believing in his untapped potential and dual-threat capabilities.
- Fields, who is 26 years old and was drafted 11th overall by the Bears in 2021, spent the 2024 season with the Steelers, starting six games and achieving a 4-2 record with five touchdown passes.
- Mougey stated, "We believe Justin is the starter," and "We believe we can win with Justin, so we're excited about Justin."
- The Jets signed Fields to a two-year, $40 million contract, with $30 million guaranteed, and while Tyrod Taylor will serve as backup, the team may still draft a quarterback and plans to discuss contract extensions with Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner after the draft.
