Jets Expected to Start Justin Fields vs. Browns as Rebuild Takes Shape

Recent trades for draft capital signal a pivot toward a long-term quarterback plan over short-term lineup certainty.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Justin Fields is expected to get the Week 10 start in Cleveland following the Jets’ bye.
  • Head coach Aaron Glenn has declined to name a starter publicly, keeping the decision internal ahead of kickoff.
  • Fields strengthened his case with a 244-yard, one-touchdown performance in the Week 8 win at Cincinnati after Tyrod Taylor was ruled out with a knee injury.
  • New York traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams for future picks and brought in receiver Adonai Mitchell, reflecting a draft-focused reset.
  • Garrett Wilson is expected back this week, and cap realities favor extended evaluation of Fields, who has $10 million guaranteed in 2026 with a potential $22 million dead charge if cut before June 1.
