Overview
- ESPN’s Bill Barnwell listed Fields in the “on their way out” tier and said it would be a surprise if he is New York’s 2026 starter.
- The Jets can release Fields after the season, with $10 million already guaranteed for 2026 and roughly $10 million in additional savings if they move on.
- ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports Fields is slated to start Thursday night due to the short week, but an in-game switch to Tyrod Taylor is possible, potentially for the rest of the season.
- Head coach Aaron Glenn has refused to publicly name a starter before recent games, keeping quarterback decisions in-house.
- Fields is 2-6 as a starter with 1,143 passing yards, six touchdowns and one interception, plus 316 rushing yards, and he threw for just 54 yards in the win over Cleveland.
