Overview
- Head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Tyrod Taylor will start Sunday against the Ravens, while declining to name a season-long starter.
- Multiple reports indicate the switch is expected to stick barring injury and points to New York seeking a new 2026 quarterback via trade, free agency or the draft.
- Team evaluators want clearer reads on rookie TE Mason Taylor and wideouts John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell, believing Taylor will better facilitate the passing game.
- The Jets are 2-8, and Justin Fields has produced four starts with under 60 passing yards this season.
- Financial reporting notes Fields has about $10 million guaranteed for 2026 and a potential dead-cap charge around $22 million if released, alongside roughly $35 million tied to Aaron Rodgers, as the club weighs options with added draft capital from the Sauce Gardner trade and scouting of prospect Fernando Mendoza.
