The Jets are signing QB Justin Fields, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social, as Gang Green gets a new starter. Fields says goodbye to Pittsburgh after 1 year. He gets a 2-year deal worth $40M with $30M guaranteed.

Fields is expected to be the Jets’ starting quarterback in 2025 after they parted ways with Aaron Rodgers.
The former Buckeye star heads to New York after one season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, which he began as Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback but ended as the backup to Russell Wilson. Fields previously spent three years with the Chicago Bears, who selected him with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
In his first four NFL seasons, Fields has completed 61.1% of his passing attempts for 7,780 yards and 45 touchdowns with 31 interceptions while also rushing for 2,509 yards and 19 touchdowns on 418 carries.
With the move to New York, Fields reunites with Garrett Wilson, one of his top receivers at Ohio State in 2019 and 2020. Wilson is entering his fourth season with the Jets, having topped 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three NFL seasons.
Fields also reunites with former Ohio State tight end Jeremy Ruckert, who is also entering his fourth year with the Jets after catching passes from Fields at Ohio State in 2019 and 2020.
