The New York Jets' never-ending search for sustainability at quarterback continued on Monday when they reached a reported free agent contract with Justin Fields.
According to multiple reports, Fields will sign a two-year contract worth $40 million, with $30 million guaranteed. The move will become official at noon on Wednesday, the first official day of the new NFL season.
Fields instantly becomes the odds-on favorite to start for the Jets, following the departure of Aaron Rodgers, who led the team to a 5-12 record last season.
