Justin Fields' move to the New York Jets has been seen as a win-win for the franchise, and with Aaron Glenn already giving Justin the keys to the offense, this is his show.
The harsh reality of Fields' situation in New York is that it's viewed as potentially his last chance at proving he's a starting quarterback in the NFL. His previous four years have shown his potential, but it's never developed into anything tangible.
It has to now under Jets coordinator Tanner Engstrand, and Fields has the supporting cast to make something of himself in New York, and in truth, his starting future might depend on it.
For USA Today's Tyler Dragon, he's wondering if it will be the third time's a charm for Fields in 2025.
"Glenn is the 22nd coach in franchise history," Dragon writes. "He played for the Jets for eight seasons. One of the first things Glenn and new GM Darren Mougey did was clean their hands of Aaron Rodgers. Glenn’s given Justin Fields, who’s on his third team, a vote of confidence. He stated “the sky’s the limit” for the QB. The natural raw talent for Fields is there, but can he put it all together? The Jets own the dubious stat of the NFL’s longest active playoff drought."
Having been with the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers, Fields is now a Jet and looking to reignite his NFL career, which right now is delicately poised, and if things go well, he'll likely stick around for Year 2 of Glenn's regime.
If he doesn't perform to the standards the Jets front office wants, due to his contract being structured in such a way, the Jets can move on at the end of the year, relatively unscathed financially.
Fields has shown he has talent worthy of being an NFL starter, but it all needs to mesh into something consistent.
Will he be able to get it done at his third stop?
