Aaron Rodgers has not yet found a fall point, but the jets already have his successor. The New York franchise agreed with Justin Fields (QB, ex-Steelers) on a two-year contract worth 40 million dollars, including 30 million guaranteed.
Drafted just four years ago, Fields will know his third franchise after the Bears of Chicago and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Justin Fields, a new opportunity to prove
The twenty -year old, Justin Fields has already experienced many adventures in his young career. Drafted in the first round of the Draft 2021, the former quarterback of Ohio State was presented as the potential Franchise Quarterback des Bears de Chicago. Alas, despite a few blows, Fields did not respond to the hopes placed in him. The Bears decide to turn the page in 2024. Fields is sent to the Steelers. In the process, Chicago selects its successor in the Draft 2024 first position, Caleb Williams.
In Pittsburgh, Justin Fields is relegated to the replacement quarterback behind the experienced Russell Wilson. Nevertheless, the latter's injury allows him to find the grounds. He assures the interim for six games, leading the Steelers to a balance sheet of four victories and two defeats. However, Mike Tomlin (HC, Steelers) decides to put it back on the bench on the return from Wilson.
Fields arrives in New York in a completely different optics. The jets give him the opportunity to prove that he can be a quarterback holding a NFL franchise.
