The New York Jets made the decision to move on from future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers earlier this offseason. Following that move, it was clear that the Jets would look to add a new starting quarterback in either free agency or the 2025 NFL draft.

Fields, who turned 26 on March 5, spent last year with the Steelers and went 4-2 as the team's starting quarterback.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost quarterback Justin Fields to the New York Jets for a huge deal. New York will pay Fields $40 million over two years, with $30 million of that money being guaranteed.
