The SportsLine Projection Model says New York's prospects for a long-awaited postseason appearance increase a bit with recent quarterback change

The New York Jets made the decision to move on from future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers earlier this offseason. Following that move, it was clear that the Jets would look to add a new starting quarterback in either free agency or the 2025 NFL draft.

A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that the New York Jets and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields have agreed to a two-year contract worth $40 million.
