The New York Jets are putting together an Ohio State reunion. On Monday, the Jets signed Justin Fields to a two-year deal that should serve as a good first step in the team’s rebuild after moving on from Aaron Rodgers.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Justin Fields and Garrett Wilson are reuniting in the NFL, as the former Ohio State quarterback has found a new home and a fresh start.
When Pittsburgh traded for him, it felt like Fields was supposed to be Russell Wilson’s successor. Yet the Steelers were hesitant in locking down Fields long term. Now Fields has all the reason to play in New York.
Fields on Monday agreed to a two-year, $40 million deal with the New York Jets, per multiple reports, the 11th overall pick of the Chicago Bears in the 2021 draft replacing Aaron Rodgers after his ill-fated two-season spell with the AFC East franchise.
