Following Aaron Rodgers's departure, the New York Jets are exploring quarterback options, with Justin Fields emerging as a potential target. Initially selected in the 2021 draft by the Chicago Bears, Fields represents a refreshing opportunity after the Jets' disappointing experience with Zach Wilson. Connor Rogers from NBC Sports suggested Fields could be enticing, especially with familiarity with Garrett Wilson, indicating potential synergy. The Jets aim for cost-effective solutions in their quarterback search, noticing Fields's age offers significant upside as a transitional player.
Rogers said, 'Do you go into free agency and do you look to go, hey we want another pro in case Tyrod [Taylor] gets hurt and we want to ramp up the competition we want here, like a Justin Fields.'
It’s a place he can come in & play. He has already played with Garrett Wilson before, right? So that situation is comfort.
Both Fields and Taylor are seen as bridge quarterbacks, while Fields has a little more upside due to his 25-year age.
Rogers then added that this move wouldn't break the bank, and they wouldn't owe Fields a ton of long-term money.
