The New York Jets are heading into 2025 with Justin Fields under center.
Following the departure of former Jets QB Aaron Rodgers, the team signed Fields as their new signal caller. The 2025 NFL draft came and went without New York adding any other quarterbacks with a pick.

Pro Football Focus thinks that going with Fields is very much going to be a roll of the dice for the Jets.
The football analytics outlet ranked every NFL team’s (presumed) starting quarterback ahead of next season, head-to-head.
Fields did not fare well, landing at No. 28 overall.
That position put Fields under PFF’s category of “Veterans capable of solid play but could be quickly replaced.” That sounds fair for Fields, too.
PFF’s full breakdown on Fields can be found below:
The Jets enter the summer in a strange spot, handing Justin Fields the starting quarterback job with little real competition behind him. Tyrod Taylor slots in as the backup, while undrafted rookie Brady Cook rounds out the depth chart. Fields earned a 71.0 grade with the Steelers in 2024, but passing consistency has eluded him throughout his career. New York may ride it out with Fields for all of 2025, but odds are he’s just keeping the seat warm for a 2026 draft pick.
