On Monday, the Jets signed Justin Fields to a two-year, $40 million deal with a clear path to a starting role and all that comes with it. Among a cast of castaway veterans, Fields offered New York a unique combination of youth, upside, and competence. It’s unknown, perhaps unlikely, that it truly works out, but few are complaining with the signing.

For the past several days it felt like the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback in 2025 was going to be Justin Fields. It's what all the pundits were saying and all signs pointed to Fields back in a Steelers uniform.

Justin Fields has joined his third NFL team, signing with the New York Jets for two years at $40 million with $30 million guaranteed. The news was announced Monday and Fields was seen on social media that afternoon seemingly celebrating his new deal in Dubai.
