<p>The <strong>Kansas City Chiefs</strong> and the <strong>New York Jets</strong> are reportedly finalizing a deal that will send <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Justin Fields</a></strong> to Arrowhead, where he’d serve as <strong>Patrick Mahomes</strong>‘ backup in 2026. Ian Rapoport of <em>NFL Network</em> and Adam Schefter of <em>ESPN</em> reported it on X.</p>

<h2>Mahomes’ injury could see Fields start for Chiefs in 2026</h2>



<p>Even though the Chiefs’ starting QB job has a clear owner in Mahomes, <strong>his torn ACL creates a gap</strong> for the offseason activities and training camp. With the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-trade-for-justin-fields-will-patrick-mahomes-play-in-week-1-of-2026">Fields trade, many are wondering whether Mahomes will recover in time for Week 1</a>.</p>



<p>Even though head coach Andy Reid showed confidence in Mahomes’ progress, the Chiefs can already breathe a sigh of relief with Fields <strong>available if needed</strong>. Not only does <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-trading-for-justin-fields-might-help-fix-running-game-with-patrick-mahomes-out">trading for Fields could help the Chiefs improve their running game</a>, but they’re also getting <strong>much-needed insurance</strong> behind Mahomes.</p>



<h2>Fields’ NFL experience before trade to Chiefs</h2>



<p>Fields, 27, boasts significant experience with <strong>9,039 passing yards for 52 touchdowns and 32 interceptions in 53 NFL starts</strong>. His 16-37 record doesn’t look great, though to be fair, he hasn’t always been put in the best situations.</p>



<p>He <strong>started with a rebuilding Chicago Bears team</strong> that went 10-28 in three years with him at the helm, but Fields made a great impression in a <strong>short sample with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024</strong>, going 4-2 before Mike Tomlin gave the job to Russell Wilson once he recovered from injury.</p>



<p>Fields <strong>hoped to revitalize his career with a move to New York in 2025</strong>, but the Jets left a lot to be desired with a 2-7 record with him under center. Now it’s time for a fresh start in Kansas City, where Fields <strong>could get playing time depending</strong> on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a>‘ recovery.</p>

<h2>Jets give up on Fields, go back to Geno Smith</h2>



<p>The Jets, meanwhile, are turning the page as nothing went to plan with Fields. Tom Pelissero of <em>NFL Network</em> reports that New York is eating $7 million of Fields’ $10 million salary in 2026 to make the trade possible.</p>



<p>The team <strong>prefers to see what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/geno-smith">Geno Smith</a> can do rather than giving Fields a second chance</strong> — even if Smith struggled with the Las Vegas Raiders, going 2-13 for 3,025 yards with 19 touchdowns and a league-worst 17 interceptions last year.</p>



<p>The Raiders secured the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft with a 3-14 record, paving the way for them to select Fernando Mendoza, who led Indiana to the National Championship win in the 2025 college football season.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="69b8266fb228ada1a7406450" data-title="Who won the trade?" data-options="4"></div>


<p>Smith is now <strong>reuniting with the team where he spent his first four <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> seasons</strong>, leading the Jets to a 12-18 record with 5,962 yards in 28 touchdowns and 36 interceptions in 30 starts from 2013 to 2016.</p>

<p>The <strong>Kansas City Chiefs</strong>’ last season ended in the worst possible way. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> suffered a serious injury that still casts doubt over his availability for Week 1 of the upcoming season</strong>, making the reported addition of <strong>Justin Fields</strong> a potential key as his first replacement.</p>



<p>According to journalist Adam Schefter, who reported the trade via his X account, <strong>the franchise’s plan is to give Fields ample reps during the offseason and training camp</strong>, so he could potentially start if Mahomes isn’t 100% recovered.</p>



<p>The former New York Jets quarterback reportedly had several offers to leave the Big Apple, but ultimately chose to join the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-ny-jets-qb-depth-charts-updated-with-justin-fields-joining-patrick-mahomes-at-arrowhead">Chiefs’ QB depth chart</a>, with his physical still pending. Major acquisition for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> ahead of what’s coming.</p>



<h2>What injury did Mahomes suffer?</h2>



<p>Patrick <strong>Mahomes suffered a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee</strong> during the Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers on December 14, 2025. The injury occurred late in the fourth quarter while he was scrambling, ultimately ending his season and requiring surgery the following day.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/16111619/patrick-mahomes-injury-1920x1080.webp" alt="Patrick Mahomes" class="wp-image-599049"><figcaption>Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs.</figcaption></figure>



<p>At that time, Gardner Minshew stepped in as his replacement, but he left for the Arizona Cardinals in free agency. Therefore, the Chiefs’ QB depth chart now includes not only Mahomes and Fields, but also Chris Oladokun and Jake Haener.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-caliendo-turns-down-offers-to-continue-protecting-patrick-mahomes-with-the-chiefs"></div>


<h2>Fields’ 2025 performance</h2>



<p>During the 2025 season with the Jets, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Justin Fields</a> appeared in 9 games, completing 128 of 204 passes for 1,259 yards, 7 touchdowns, and just 1 interception, finishing with an 89.5 passer rating. </p>



<p>On the ground, he added 383 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns on 71 carries, a sign that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-trading-for-justin-fields-might-help-fix-running-game-with-patrick-mahomes-out">Fields could help the Chiefs improve their running game</a>. Despite his efficiency in limiting turnovers, the team struggled with a 2-7 record in his starts before he was sidelined by a knee injury in late December.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/16110440/justin-fields-1920x1080.webp" alt="Justin Fields #7" class="wp-image-599028"><figcaption>Justin Fields #7</figcaption></figure>



<h2>A fragile comeback</h2>



<p>Recovery from a combined ACL and LCL tear <strong>typically requires 9 to 12 months of intensive rehabilitation</strong>. Given the severity of Mahomes’ injury, he is expected to be cleared for full football activities by the start of the 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> regular season in September.</p>

Chiefs trade for Fields: Will Mahomes play in Week 1?

<p>According to Adam Schefter of <em>ESPN</em>, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a></strong> are sending a 2027 sixth-round pick to the New York Jets for quarterback <strong>Justin Fields</strong>. Although obviously with sights to be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-ny-jets-qb-depth-charts-updated-with-justin-fields-joining-patrick-mahomes-at-arrowhead"><strong>Patrick Mahomes</strong>‘ backup on the Chiefs depth chart</a>, he might help with the running game while 15 keeps recovering from a torn ACL.</p>



<p>The fact is that the Chiefs need to be better running. Last season, <strong>they ranked 20th in the league in rushing offense</strong>. In fact, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mahomes</a>‘ injury came by him trying to force plays with his scrambling, because they couldn’t trust the running game.</p>



<p>Hence, they add <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a>, who might not be the prospect everyone thought he would at one point, but he is definitely a dual-threat quarterback, <strong>who is arguably more dangerous with his feet than with his throwing of the football.</strong></p>



<h2>Fields is a dangerous runner</h2>



<p>Back in 2021, Justin Fields ran a 4.44-second 40-yard dash. In fact, in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, <strong>his highlight reel is likely to feature his runs more than his passes</strong>. He is fast, elusive, and quite strong to swallow contact.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This gives the Chiefs an experienced backup (53 starts) who hasn&apos;t yet reached his NFL potential. Progress as a passer/decision maker over the last two seasons: 19 games played, 15 starts, 64% completion percentage, 2,365 yards, 12 passing TDs, 2 interceptions. <a href="https://t.co/IAWd6ZeS7a">https://t.co/IAWd6ZeS7a</a></p>— Charles Goldman (@goldmctNFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/goldmctNFL/status/2033567484767580387?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 16, 2026</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>With Fields on the roster, <strong>the Chiefs could make designed runs, exploit RPOs (run-pass options), and add more speed from the backfield</strong> to a unit that desperately needs it. However, this will last only while Mahomes recovers. Once he is healthy, Fields is likely to not step out of the sideline.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/chiefs-trade-for-justin-fields-will-patrick-mahomes-play-in-week-1-of-2026"></div>


<h2>The Chiefs have made the running game a priority this offseason</h2>



<p>Not only Fields, but <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/kenneth-walker-joins-chiefs-rb-depth-chart-updated-in-kansas-city">by signing Kenneth Walker III</a>,<strong> the Chiefs have made it clear that improving the running game is a key piece of their comeback season</strong>. After all, Patrick Mahomes has never had a 1,000-yard back so far in his career. In fact, it’s not even been close.</p>



<p>With a more veteran Mahomes and after a knee surgery, the Chiefs would likely not want to see Mahomes run as much. Still, <strong>much of Mahomes’ danger comes from his scrambles, so it remains to be seen how much his style will change</strong> once he comes back.</p>

<p>According to <em>SNY’s </em>Connor Hughes, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">New York Jets</a></strong> are eyeing <strong>Carson Wentz</strong> to serve as backup for <strong>Geno Smith</strong> in the 2026 NFL season. All signs indicate the “<strong>Justin Fields</strong> experiment” has come to an end in East Rutherford, as the Gang Green searches for help elsewhere.</p>



<p>Coming off a disappointing campaign with the Las Vegas Raiders, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/geno-smith">Smith</a> is back in New York—actually, New Jersey—<strong>where he started his NFL journey back in 2013</strong>. Though excited to have him back in town, the Jets know Smith’s game brings inconsistency with it, and thus acquiring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-wentz">Wentz</a> could help give the team a cushion in case all else fails. </p>



<p>Still, Wentz only appeared in five games in 2025, in which he didn’t exactly play lights-out. Needless to say, a quarterback tandem of Smith and Wentz would mean New York remains filled with uncertainty in 2026. The 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Draft has yet to take place, but it’s no wonder <strong>why “J-E-T-S” fans are already eyeing the 2027 class</strong>, which could have Arch Manning leading the way.</p>



<h2>Justin Fields could leave NY Jets</h2>



<p><em>“<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Justin Fields</a> remains under contract, but <strong>that likely will change</strong>,” </em>as reported by Rich Cimini of<em> ESPN.</em> Following a scarily inconsistent performance in 2025, the former 11th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft is trending to <strong>search for a new home</strong>. It would be the fourth time the quarterback hits the real estate business in his six-year career.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/10163106/infographic-smith-fields-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-595531"><figcaption>Geno Smith and Justin Fields’ 2025 stats (Image made with AI)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Fields signed a <strong>two-year, $40 million deal with the</strong> Jets, via <em>Spotrac</em>, which runs through the 2026 NFL season. However, New York may not sit around waiting for his deal to expire. Instead, Jets general manager Darren Mougey may take action into his own hands.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/new-york-jets-cap-space-in-2026"></div>


<h2>Jets face options when it comes to Fields</h2>



<p>If Fields won’t be taken into account by New York, it better figure out a way to escape the <strong>quarterback’s $23 million cap hit in 2026</strong>. In order to do so, the Jets have different options at their disposal. Most likely, any decision will have to wait until June 1st, when the NFL’s new league year begins. </p>



<p>If the Jets release Fields prior to that date, <strong>they would take on $22 million on dead cap</strong>. A pre 6/1 trade would save New York $11 million, but it would still take on $12 million in dead cap in 2026. Moreover, finding a suitable trade partner for Fields might be unlikely.</p>



<h2>Better options for the Jets and Fields</h2>



<p>Thus, the more likely options for the Jets are as follows. On the first hand, they could designate Fields as a June 1st release—or simply release him after that date—which would take on a $13 million dead cap for 2026 and a $9 million hit for 2027. <strong>It’s a higher price to pay than a trade</strong>, but it’s a far easier decision to pull off. </p>



<p>If the Jets trade Fields after June 1st, then it’d be the best solution. New York would save $20 million as it’d take on $3 million in 2026 and $9 million in 2027 in dead cap. Knowing how much money a trade would save the Jets means any team willing to do business with them <strong>will likely lowball them</strong>, though.</p>

Jets look for backup to Smith with Fields expected to leave

<p>It’s clear that the <strong>New York Jets</strong> need to make drastic changes if they truly want to turn their fortunes around in the <strong>NFL</strong>. <strong>Aaron Glenn</strong> has begun mapping out the plans for the upcoming season, still facing uncertainty over whether <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Justin Fields</a></strong> will remain the team’s starting quarterback.</p>



<p>In fact, the future of the former Bears and Steelers quarterback in the Big Apple remains unknown. Rumors of a potential release are strong, though <strong>it’s unclear exactly when such a move might take place.</strong></p>



<p><em>“As for Justin Fields: <strong>He’ll be released at some point, though the Jets say they are in no rush to make that move</strong>. Tyrod Taylor is open to returning if the Jets want him as a veteran backup again,”</em> Zack Rosenblatt of <em>The Athletic</em> revealed.</p>



<h2>Fields’ contract situation</h2>



<p>As of early 2026, <strong>Justin Fields remains under contract with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">Jets</a> after signing a two-year, $40 million deal last offseason</strong>. While he is set to earn a base salary of $20 million this year with $10 million already guaranteed, his future with the team is uncertain following a difficult 2025 season.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/12114055/QB-Justin-Fields-of-the-New-York-Jets-2025-1920x1080.webp" alt="QB Justin Fields of the New York Jets (2025)" class="wp-image-544331"><figcaption>QB Justin Fields of the New York Jets (2025)</figcaption></figure>



<p>General Manager Darren Mougey recently stated at the NFL Combine that while Fields is currently on the roster, the team is evaluating all options, <strong>including a potential trade or release</strong>, as they look to overhaul their quarterback room.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/justin-fields-turns-heads-with-major-admission-about-his-future-with-the-jets"></div>

<p>The arrival of new additions, along with <strong>Aaron Glenn</strong> taking over as head coach, suggested this <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> season might be different for the <strong>New York Jets</strong>. However, they once again find themselves at the bottom of the AFC East, and many have already begun looking ahead—<strong>Justin Fields</strong> included.</p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a> faced heavy criticism</strong> throughout much of the season, to the point that the coaching staff opted to lean on the experience of Tyrod Taylor down the stretch of the regular season, despite the former Bears and Steelers quarterback being healthy again after his knee injury.</p>



<p>When asked whether he would like to return to the field, his answer was an unequivocal yes. Still, he made it clear that <strong>he doesn’t know what will happen with his future</strong> once his time with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">New York</a> comes to an end this season.</p>



<p><em>“I mean, I don’t know what I’m going to eat for dinner tonight, so <strong>I can’t even worry about what’s going to happen until after the season</strong>,”</em> Fields said, via Dennis Waszak of the <em>Associated Press. <strong>“We’ll just see and take it day by day.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Justin Fields’ numbers this season in New York</h2>



<p>In his first season with the New York Jets, Justin Fields has provided a steady presence under center, <strong>recording 1,259 passing yards, 7 touchdowns, and only 1 interception. </strong></p>

<h2>What is Fields’ contract situation?</h2>



<p>Justin Fields’ contractual situation with the New York Jets has become a complex dilemma for the front office heading into 2026. Having signed a <strong>two-year deal</strong> before this season, Fields is still owed <strong>$10 million in guaranteed salary</strong>, yet his performance makes it difficult to envision him returning to a starting role. </p>



<p>Furthermore, moving on from him presents a significant financial burden, as cutting him without a post-June 1 designation would leave the team with <strong>$22 million in dead money</strong>.</p>



<p>Consequently, the Jets must carefully weigh all options, from a potential trade to a post-June 1 release, as they navigate their quarterback strategy for the upcoming season.</p>

Justin Fields turns heads with major admission about his future with NY Jets - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a></strong> have shocked everyone. Ahead of their Week 15 game against the <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong>, the AFC East club has made an <strong>unexpected announcement about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a></strong>.</p>



<p>On Friday, New York revealed that <strong>Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor have been ruled out</strong> for the game against Jacksonville. Without their primary quarterbacks, the Jets will have to <strong>rely on Brady Cook</strong> to guide the offense.</p>



<p>Although the Jets are already eliminated, the club has no intention of tanking. Unfortunately, <strong>not having either Fields or Taylor may unintentionally lead them to another loss</strong>, this time against a solid team like Jacksonville.</p>



<h2>The future holds uncertainty for Justin Fields</h2>



<p>Earlier this year, the Jets signed Justin Fields to a <strong>two-year, 40 million dollar contract</strong>. The club had a lot of faith in him, but so far the <strong>quarterback has not lived up to expectations</strong> and has had a very disappointing season.</p>



<p>Justin Fields is currently dealing with a knee injury, which is why the Jets decided to rule him out for Week 15. He has <strong>failed to stay healthy</strong> in a year that served as a big test for his continuity.</p>



<p>While Fields is not expected to be released next offseason, his <strong>job as QB1 is definitely in jeopardy</strong>. Even when healthy, the former Steelers player was sidelined by HC Aaron Glenn in favor of Tyrod Taylor, which is not a good sign for his status as starter.</p>

<h2>Who is Brady Cook?</h2>



<p>While the Jets decide what to do with Justin Fields, they will have a chance to test a rookie quarterback. <strong>Brady Cook will be in charge of the offense</strong> in Week 15 in a tough duel against the Jaguars.</p>



<p>Cook has only played one game this year, when the Jets lost to the Dolphins 10-34 in Week 14. He is a <strong>former Missouri player</strong> who had <strong>decent numbers in his last three seasons</strong>. Could he be a threat to Fields as an underdog who wants to show what he is really capable of?</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/breece-hall">Breece Hall</a> didn’t hold back after knowing a reporter repeatedly press <strong>Justin Fields</strong> for a reaction at the locker. <strong>Fields made it clear he didn’t have time to talk,</strong> saying he needed to get a massage, but the reporter continued pushing for comment.</p>



<p>Hall fired off a pointed message on social media, calling out the behavior directly. <em>“<strong>Pathetic move by you tbh.</strong> Wish some of yall would grow up and stop acting like little kids <strong>nagging somebody till they get mad lol,</strong>”</em> he wrote in response to reporter Brian Costello.</p>



<p><em>“Approached Justin Fields at his locker. He said he was going to get a massage and did not have time to talk. I asked his reaction to move.<strong> ‘there’s no reaction. That’s life. S— happens,</strong>‘”</em> wrote Costello, the reporter to whom Hall sent the harsh reply.</p>

<p>Jets fans reacted positively to Hall’s defense of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a>.<em> “Notice how Justin fields <strong>teammates ALWAYS have his back. </strong>Non-ball knowers can question his qb ability all they want but his character and leadership ability is top notch,”</em> wrote Hector (@jpajamer) about Hall’s actions and how other teammates have previously supported Fields.</p>

Breece Hall fires back at reporter who tried to provoke a reaction from Justin Fields - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a></strong> lost on Thursday Night Football and, after scoring only 14 points, the quarterback battle between <strong>Tyrod Taylor</strong> and <strong>Justin Fields</strong> was a topic of conversation once again. Now that the team is preparing for its Week 12 game against the <strong>Baltimore Ravens</strong>, head coach <strong>Aaron Glenn</strong> has cleared the air on who will be under center.</p>



<p>According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Glenn</a> said Tyrod Taylor will be the one commanding the offense against the Baltimore Ravens</strong>. This means Justin Fields is going to be benched.</p>



<p>Glenn hinted that this was going to happen last week, but this time it’s happening for real. <strong>Both parties have been informed according to Rapoport</strong>. Now, it’s a veteran presence behind center.</p>



<h2>Taylor is a new dynamic, but not precisely an upgrade</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor</a> is a well-known quarterback in the NFL. He was a starter back in the day, but ended up being a journeyman. Taylor already played three games this season, starting one of them. <strong>He is 0-1 and has completed only 62.3% of his passes</strong>, with three touchdowns and three interceptions.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/17173203/tyrod-taylor-1920x1080.webp" alt="Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets" class="wp-image-529066"></figure></div><figcaption>Tyrod Taylor #2 of the New York Jets</figcaption></figure>



<p>Taylor won’t be a world beater, <strong>but at least could provide some maturity in the quarterback position, something that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> hasn’t done</strong>. Fields is a bit wild and erratic, Taylor is more poised and calm. That doesn’t mean he is an upgrade, after all, he has been a backup for a reason.</p>

Aaron Glenn gives major update regarding the Jets QB battle between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor ahead of Week 12 game vs Ravens - Bolavip US

<p>Two straight wins had sparked hope around the <strong>New York Jets</strong> that an unlikely turnaround might be taking shape. However, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn">Aaron Glenn</a></strong>’s squad fell on the road in Foxborough, sinking further in the AFC East — and raising renewed questions about whether <strong>Justin Fields</strong> is truly the right quarterback to lead this team.</p>



<p>The former Steelers quarterback arrived in the Big Apple this past offseason with <strong>the goal of capably replacing Aaron Rodgers</strong>. But after an up-and-down start to his tenure, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a> now finds himself squarely in the eye of the storm. His head coach <strong>is dissecting every detail as he weighs what decision to make moving forward.</strong></p>



<p><em>“You know what? <strong>I’m evaluating everything</strong>, to be honest with you,”</em> Glenn said, via the <em>Associated Press. “I’m evaluating myself, the players, schematics, coaches, I’m evaluating everything. So, I don’t want to just place everything on that, that one situation.<strong> I’m just looking at everything, because as a head coach, that’s my job</strong>, to make sure that I put this team in the best position to go win games.”</em></p>



<p>With a handful of intriguing matchups ahead, Glenn still has to carefully evaluate what to do at the QB1 spot — whether to stick with Fields or make a bold move and turn to Tyrod Taylor.</p>

<h2>Fields’ season in New York</h2>



<p>Quarterback Justin Fields’ first full season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">New York Jets</a> has been defined by frustrating inconsistency, contributing to the team’s ongoing struggles to secure wins. Through nine starts, the dual-threat QB has flashed moments of brilliance but <strong>has largely struggled to generate sustained drives.</strong> </p>

<p>Fields has compiled 1,885 passing yards with a 59.2% completion rate, throwing 11 touchdowns versus 8 interceptions (79.1 Passer Rating). His rushing ability remains a bright spot, leading the team with 415 rushing yards and 3 rushing touchdowns. However, <strong>the Jets’ offense ranks near the bottom of the league in points per game</strong>, putting Fields’ long-term future with the franchise under intense scrutiny.</p>



<h2>What’s next for the Jets?</h2>



<p>The Jets are heading into a critical and daunting three-game stretch that will likely define their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. The run begins with a brutal road test against the high-flying Baltimore Ravens, a perennial contender with an elite defense. </p>



<p>The Jets then return home to MetLife Stadium for back-to-back contests, first hosting the surging Atlanta Falcons, followed by a pivotal AFC East divisional clash against the Miami Dolphins. </p>

<p>Tension<strong> </strong>is rising inside the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a></strong> organization. After another <strong>defeat </strong>— this time against the <strong>New England Patriots</strong> — head coach <strong>Aaron Glenn </strong>has <strong>addressed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a>’ performance</strong>.</p>



<p>The Jets entered Week 11 riding a <strong>two-game winning streak</strong>. Unfortunately for them, they ran into one of the <strong>NFL’s hottest teams</strong>. The Patriots, currently a juggernaut, controlled the matchup and <strong>handed New York a 27-14 loss</strong>.</p>



<p>While many expected that result, Aaron Glenn still hoped for a <strong>stronger performance from his players</strong> — especially Justin Fields, who remains under the microscope.</p>



<h2>Aaron Glenn puts extra pressure on Justin Fields after loss to Patriots</h2>



<p>The Jets are far from their best moment this season. After securing their first win in Week 8, they <strong>seemed to be gaining momentum</strong>, but Week 11 brought them back to reality.</p>



<p>On the road in Foxborough, the <strong>Jets could not match the Patriots’ level of play</strong>. Despite the 13-point difference, New York struggled to provide any real challenge.</p>



<p><strong>Justin Fields remains the starting quarterback</strong> — in part due to Tyrod Taylor’s lingering health issues — but he once again <strong>fell short of expectations</strong>. His performance immediately reignited criticism about his consistency and decision-making.</p>

<p>Throughout the game, <strong>Fields was asked to use his legs more than usual</strong>. While the Jets understand his rushing ability is one of his <strong>biggest strengths</strong>, Aaron Glenn has made it clear he <strong>doesn’t want Fields to rely on running as a crutch</strong>. Instead, he wants him to focus on <strong>developing</strong> as what he is: a <strong>quarterback</strong>.</p>



<p><em>“We <strong>don’t want to make a habit of our quarterbacks continuing to run</strong> because we can put them in harm’s way,”</em> HC Aaron Glenn said. <em>“I felt like if we get a fast start we’ll be in a good position, and <strong>Justin ran the ball quite a bit</strong>. The thing is, we <strong>can’t put Justin in a situation where he’s a running back</strong>, and I think we all know that, because we’re putting him in harm’s way.”</em></p>

<p>Bad news for <strong>Justin Fields</strong>: the <strong>New York Jets</strong> are reportedly placing wide receiver <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/garrett-wilson">Garrett Wilson</a></strong> on Injured Reserve, leaving their star pass catcher out for a minimum of four weeks.</p>



<p>The news was reported by several NFL insiders, including Mike Garafolo, Adam Schefter, and Ian Rapoport. This leaves the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">Jets</a> <strong>with the following healthy wide receivers on their updated depth chart</strong>: </p>



<ul><li>Arian Smith</li><li>Isaiah Williams</li><li>Adonai Mitchell </li><li>Allen Lazard</li><li>Tyler Johnson</li><li>John Metchie III</li></ul>



<h2>Which games will Fields, Jets play without Wilson?</h2>



<p>The first game the Jets will play without Wilson is the <strong>Week 11 Thursday Night Football showdown against division rivals New England Patriots</strong>. With the team stuck at the bottom of the AFC East, it will probably be a significant loss for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a> and company.</p>

<p>Wilson’s presence on IR means the 2-7 Jets <strong>will also miss the wideout for the Week 12 road game against the Baltimore Ravens</strong>, the Week 13 home clash <strong>against the Atlanta Falcons</strong>, and the <strong>Week 14 showdown against division rivals Miami Dolphins</strong>, also at MetLife Stadium.

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">New York Jets</a></strong>’ last outing ended in a victory over the Bengals, marking the team’s first win of the season. Despite that, many continue to question the performance of <strong>Justin Fields</strong> as the team’s primary signal-caller under <strong>Aaron Glenn</strong>, leaving the short-term outlook at the position uncertain.</p>



<p>The Jets’ next challenge comes at home against the Cleveland Browns, and <strong>uncertainty over who will start at quarterback is starting to loom</strong>. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields">Fields</a> or Tyrod Taylor — those are the two options the coach has to choose from.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> reporter Rich Cimini revealed on his official X account (formerly Twitter) that <strong>Glenn has yet to give any indication of who might start at MetLife Stadium</strong>. However, all signs point to the former Bears and Steelers quarterback once again taking the opening snap.</p>



<p><em>“Once again, <strong>Aaron Glenn refuses to announce his starting QB</strong>. All he says is, ‘We’ll have a quarterback.’ He won’t even say if he hopes to get to a point where there’s an entrenched starter. And so it goes. Obviously, Fields is expected to get the nod. #Jets,”</em> the insider reported via <em>@RichCimini.</em></p>

<h2>Busy week in New York</h2>



<p>In a stunning, franchise-altering move, the New York Jets effectively hit the reset button at the NFL Trade Deadline, shipping out their two defensive cornerstones: All-Pro cornerback <strong>Sauce Gardner</strong> and defensive tackle <strong>Quinnen Williams</strong>. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/sauce-gardner-throws-shade-at-jets-after-being-traded-to-the-colts" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20251107_BUS_522190_Sauce-Gardner-1-1.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Sauce Gardner was recently traded from the New York Jets to the Indianapolis Colts, and he has thrown his former team under the bus with a blunt statement about his new club.

<p>With the team mired in a losing season, General Manager Darren Mougey orchestrated a massive haul of future draft capital, sending Gardner to the surging Indianapolis Colts for a pair of first-round picks, and dealing Williams to the Dallas Cowboys for another first-rounder and more assets. </p>



<p>The trades represent a clear pivot toward a full rebuild centered around securing a franchise quarterback, but the immediate loss of two elite defensive stars plunges the Jets’ remaining 2025 campaign into uncertainty.</p>

<h2>What’s next for the Jets?</h2>



<p>Following their dramatic trade deadline defensive overhaul, the New York Jets face a brutal three-game stretch that will severely test their depleted roster. The schedule begins with a demanding home matchup against the fierce Cleveland Browns, followed by two challenging road games against playoff contenders. </p>



<p>They travel to Foxborough to take on the arch-rival New England Patriots, who are always tough in division play, before heading to Baltimore for a daunting clash with the dominant Ravens. With key defensive stars now elsewhere, this trio of games presents a massive uphill climb for a Jets team focused more on evaluating young talent than chasing wins.</p>

Ahead of Week 8, <strong>HC Aaron Glenn</strong> was <strong>undecided </strong>on the <strong>team’s QB1</strong>, but a <strong>key update</strong> has now forced him to choose between <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/justin-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a></strong> and <strong>Tyrod Taylor</strong>.</p>



<p>Throughout the week, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Glenn</a> faced repeated questions about which quarterback would start in Week 8 against the Bengals. Now, the <strong>head coach has had to make a decision due to a crucial injury update</strong>.</p>



<p>On Saturday, Jets insider Brian Coz reported that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyrod Taylor</a> has been ruled out </strong>of Sunday’s game with a<strong> bone bruise on his knee</strong>, <strong>forcing the Jets to start Justin Fields </strong>for at least one more week.</p>



<h2>Justin Fields has one more week to prove himself to the Jets</h2>



<p>The <strong>Jets’ 0-7 start is not helping Justin Fields</strong> in his bid to <strong>secure the starting QB job</strong>. He has struggled to elevate New York to a competitive level, and the team is on pace to finish with the worst record of the season.</p>



<p>In recent days, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/jets-owner-woody-johnson-blasts-justin-fields-defends-aaron-glenn-as-qb-change-looks-imminent" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">owner Woody Johnson stated that the Jets needed a change at the quarterback position</a></strong>, criticizing Fields over his poor performances. Nevertheless, Taylor’s injury has postponed any potential change for at least one more week.</p>

<p>Week 8 presents a <strong>key opportunity for Fields to make a statement</strong> and keep his job. The <strong>Bengals </strong>come off a significant victory against the Steelers, but their <strong>defense is still not regarded as particularly reliable</strong>.</p>



<p>Justin Fields will also be <strong>without Garrett Wilson</strong> for this game, which will <strong>impact his performance</strong>. However, the <strong>QB must find other key weapons</strong> against the Bengals to secure a win and extend his tenure as the starter.</p>



<h2>New York’s hospital</h2>



<p><strong>Not only is Garrett Wilson out</strong>, but several <strong>other key offensive players</strong> have also been ruled out or are listed as questionable, which is far from ideal for Fields.</p>

<p>Wide receivers <strong>Kene Nwangwu</strong>, <strong>Irvin Charles</strong>, and <strong>Josh Reynolds</strong> are out. Tight end <strong>Mason Taylor</strong> and running back <strong>Breece Hall</strong> are <strong>questionable</strong>. Justin Fields undoubtedly is in a tough spot.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> </strong>are having one of the worse quarterback battles in recent memory. <strong>Justin Fields</strong> and <strong>Tyrod Taylor</strong> are not working but one of them has to play. However, <strong>Aaron Glenn </strong>as the head coach needs to make a definitive statement, which he is not doing ahead of their Week 8 game against the <strong>Cincinnati Bengals</strong>.</p>



<p>When asked about who is starting, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-glenn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Glenn</a> said, “<em><strong>I cannot tell you that</strong></em>,” Glenn said. He stated that he won’t say it because <strong>he doesn’t want to give any competitive advantages to the Bengals.</strong></p>



<p>He reminded about the time where he suffered that uncertainty when he was the defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions. Still, <strong>for a team suffering these many problems, they would appreciate having clarity on their QB situation</strong>.</p>



<h2>Neither QB will have the team’s best weapon</h2>



<p>Whether it’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyrod-taylor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor</a> or Fields under center, <strong>the Jets will have to do without their best receiver, Garrett Wilson. </strong>The Ohio State product will miss the game due to a knee injury and he is by far and away the best weapon the team has.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/09094639/Garrett-Wilson-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson" class="wp-image-289252" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson</figcaption></figure>



<p>Wilson leads the Jets with 395 receiving yards and four touchdowns. But, <strong>if he’s out, it will be even harder for any QB to move the chains.</strong> This Jets team is just very limited offensively.</p>

<h2>The Jets must win a game</h2>



<p>Being the only winless team in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> is a record no team wants. The Bengals have a backup quarterback too in Joe Flacco, but <strong>Flacco is playing way better than either Taylor or Fields for that matter.</strong></p>



<p>Now, without Wilson and a bad quarterback, it’s tough to think they will be better than the Bengals. But, any given Sunday is one of the NFL’s mottos. I<strong>t will be tough to defend Chase and Higgins without All Pro Sauce Gardner too.</strong></p>
