First news coming out of the quarterback position for the Pittsburgh Steelers: Justin Fields has been signed by the New York Jets. The contract includes $40 million for two years, $30 million guaranteed. A solid amount of money for a quarterback who used his skills to improve his value.
The rumors of the Jets acquiring Fields have been swirling for months. It was known early in the offseason that the team was parting ways with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. They stayed aggressive towards Justin Fields, and ultimately signed him. His stellar performance, combined with impressive stats he put up in his six games played with the Steelers, showed enough promise for him to land a starting spot on the Jets.
