The New York Jets’ quarterback situation is uncertain beyond the 2025 season, to say the least.
Justin Fields is under contract for the 2026 season after signing a two-year, $40 million deal. New York benched him, though, in favor of Tyrod Taylor ahead of the Week 12 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Fields is guaranteed $10 million in 2026, but after being benched, will the Jets bring him back?

Taylor is 1-1 since the decision was made to install him permanently as the team’s starting quarterback. His overall record this season is 1-2, including a loss earlier in the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 36-year-old veteran has been exactly what you’d expect since taking over as the starter. He’s given the Jets a chance to win games. His future is up in the air as well, though. Taylor will be a free agent after the season.
