Overview

• Jets GM Darren Mougey said Fields can follow the Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold late-bloom path, pointing to improved command and rhythm in camp.
• Fields was named a 2025 team captain on Thursday.
• His preseason action was limited and uneven, with 4-of-9 passing for 46 yards and a 13-yard rushing touchdown.
• Beyond Garrett Wilson, the receiving options are unproven after Davante Adams' release, with Josh Reynolds and rookie tight end Mason Taylor among candidates to contribute.
• The contract gives New York an out after one year, and the regular season opens Sept. 7 against the Steelers in Aaron Rodgers’ return to MetLife.
