The Jets are here to tell us, wait, no, he’s much more than that! They see a quarterback who can run. They see a quarterback with a strong arm. They surely see a quarterback with accuracy issues but believe Fields is worth the risk. Everybody thinks they can fix his issues, until they can’t.

What likely attracted the Jets to Fields was his play in 2024 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Fields was eventually pulled in favor of veteran Russell Wilson last season when the veteran was healthy. That didn't make sense to everyone since Fields had a 4-2 record during his spell as the starter.

The New York Jets cut ties with Aaron Rodgers last month, and on Monday afternoon they signed their quarterback of the future to a two-year deal.
