This offseason, the Jets signed QB Justin Fields to a two-year, $40 million deal. This included a $30 million guarantee and a $15 million signing bonus. In 2025, Justin Fields has started nine of New York’s 10 games so far. He missed the Jets’ Week 3 game against the Buccaneers due to a concussion. Fields is averaging 139.9 yards per game this season. This is by far the lowest level in the NFL. Additionally, this is the lowest in the 2022 NFL when the Bears passed for 130.5 yards per game. Justin Field was the Bears’ captain.
Against the Patriots at TNF in Week 11, Justin Fields had 116 receiving yards for the entire game. Including just 23 yards in the first half. In his last five starts, Justin Fields has passed for 505 yards. After New York’s loss to the Patriots, head coach Aaron Glenn said the team would “evaluate everything.”

On Monday, NFL insider Diana Russini announced that the Jets would bench Justin Fields. Backup QB Tyrod Taylor will make his second start of the year in New York. Taylor is in his 15th professional season and second with the Jets. The 36-year-old started in Week 3 for New York when Justin Fields was out with a concussion. They lost 29-27 to the Buccaneers. Taylor had 197 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
New York will be on the road in Week 12 to face the Ravens. Baltimore is on a four-game winning streak after starting the year 1-5. The Ravens lead 5-5 heading into the game against the Jets. Tyrod Taylor will see his first action scene replacing Justin Fields in the second half of Week 7. Can he lead the Jets to their third win of the 2025 season?
