After parting ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers last month, the New York Jets are bringing in Justin Fields, coming to terms on a two-year, $40 million deal with the former first-round pick, multiple media outlets reported Monday.
Per the reports, $30 million of the contract is guaranteed.
Rodgers, whom the Jets plan to release Wednesday when the new league year opens, is rumored to join Fields' former team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, per an ESPN report on Monday.
With the Jets, the 26-year-old Fields already has a built-in rapport with wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who played with Fields at Ohio State.
Sharing QB duties with Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh last season, Fields threw five touchdowns and one interception in 10 games (six starts), completing 106 passes for 1,106 yards with a career-high completion percentage of 65.8.
The Steelers acquired Fields from the Chicago Bears, who last March traded their 2021 first-round pick in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round selection.
With the Bears (2021-23) and Steelers, Fields -- the No. 11 pick in 2021 -- has 45 touchdowns and 31 interceptions while completing 61.1 percent of his passes in 50 games (44 starts). He's also rushed for 19 scores and 2,509 yards.
