Overview

• The Jets signed Justin Fields to a two-year, $40 million contract with $30 million guaranteed, cementing him as the team's starting quarterback for 2025.
• In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jets prioritized offensive support, selecting tackle Armand Membou, tight end Mason Taylor, and wide receiver Arian Smith with early picks.
• Head coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey have publicly expressed confidence in Fields, emphasizing the importance of tailoring the offense to his dual-threat capabilities.
• Despite Fields' inconsistent past performance, the Jets are banking on his recent improvements and providing him with a rebuilt offensive line and skill players like Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall.
• The team opted not to draft a quarterback but signed undrafted free agent Brady Cook as depth, while keeping the 2026 quarterback draft class as a potential fallback if Fields underperforms.
