Will Justin Fields start in Week 8? Jets coach Aaron Glenn still searching for answers at QB

The 0-7 Jets, off to their worst start since the 2020 club began 0-13, have a full-blown QB controversy after Sunday's lifeless 13-6 loss.

Fields was yanked at halftime after completing six of 12 passes for 46 yards. His six drives resulted in three points, and Tyrod Taylor entered the game with Gang Green facing a 13-3 deficit.

Taylor did not fare much better (10-foot-22, 126 yards, two interceptions), and after the game, Glenn did not commit to a starting QB for the team's next game, a Week 8 matchup at the Cincinnati Bengals.

When asked why coaches haven't gotten the best out of Fields, Glenn, according to ESPN beat reporter Rich Cimini, lay some blame on Fields for his disappointing play. But he said the coaches aren't off the hook, adding, "There's blame to go around on a number of things."

Fields, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Jets in the offseason, could easily become a cut candidate if he doesn't improve his play. The Jets could cut the fifth-year veteran QB before the start of next season and carry a dead cap hit of $22 million for the 2026 season, a manageable number if they draft a rookie QB or find a low-cost option to start next season.
