"With free agency slated to begin next week, the rumor mill is swirling, with recent reports of the released Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray being someone of interest for the Jets' starting position. Murray was set to receive $36.8 million in money, making his new contract, which is set around $1.3 to $1.5 million, a bargain for a team like the Jets."
"The 28-year-old lefty has had an up-and-down NFL career, fighting through several concussions that have put his career in jeopardy. In 2023, the former Dolphin led the NFL in passing yards, throwing 4,624 yards and 29 touchdowns playing in all 17 games for the first and only time in his NFL career."
"Last season, the Jets took a flyer on former Bears No.11 overall pick Justin Fields, who dramatically failed. In nine games, Fields accumulated 2,269 yards and seven touchdowns, along with one interception. He was held to under 60 yards in four of his nine starts, making the season a nightmare for young receiver Garrett Wilson."
The New York Jets face another quarterback search for the 2026 season after Justin Fields' disappointing performance. Released Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and Miami Dolphins passer Tua Tagovailoa are potential targets. Murray would sign a veteran contract around $1.3-1.5 million after being released from his $36.8 million deal. Tagovailoa, expected to be released by Miami as a post-June 1 cut, would similarly sign a one-year veteran contract. The 28-year-old Tagovailoa led the NFL in passing yards in 2023 with 4,624 yards and 29 touchdowns. Both signings represent low-risk, high-reward opportunities compared to Fields, who managed only 2,269 yards and seven touchdowns in nine games.
