The New York Jets have their replacement for Aaron Rodgers.

Per multiple media reports, the Jets and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields have reached agreement on a two-year deal. The contract will be for $40 million and include $30 million in guaranteed money, according to ESPN.

A former first-round draft pick by the Chicago Bears, Fields will join the Jets after a single season with the Steelers. Fields played three seasons in Chicago after the Bears selected him with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

The Bears traded Fields to the Steelers last offseason after obtaining the No. 1 pick in the draft to select Caleb Williams. Fields then split time in Pittsburgh with Russell Wilson. He started Pittsburgh’s first six games after Wilson suffered a calf injury in training camp before Wilson took over at quarterback for the rest of the season.

In 10 appearances, including his six starts, Fields completed 65.8% of his passes last season for 1,106 yards on 6.9 yards per attempt with five touchdowns and one interception. He ran for 289 yards on 4.7 yards per carry with five rushing touchdowns. The Steelers were 4-2 in games he started, but moved on to Wilson once he was healthy.

In a free-agent market with limited options at quarterback, the Jets are confident enough in Fields to make him their starter despite the Bears and Steelers each moving on from him. The Jets made the move after cutting ties with Rodgers, who didn’t pan out in his two seasons in New York after the four-time MVP’s blockbuster trade from the Green Bay Packers in 2023.

Rodgers missed all but the opening drive of his first season in New York with a ruptured Achilles tendon, then quarterbacked the Jets to a 5-12 record in 2024. It was a disappointing outcome for a Jets team with talent on defense and at skill positions that expected to contend.

The Jets now have to reset while placing their hopes on Fields.
