5 backup quarterbacks Jets can add after Justin Fields trade
Former New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields | Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesThe New York Jets have officially decided to part ways with Justin Fields after just one season, trading the former first-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. After a nightmare season in 2025, the Jets offloading Fields was a matter of when, not if.
The Jets need to completely overturn their quarterback room this offseason, and they are one-third of the way finished with that goal after bringing Geno Smith back to his old stomping grounds.
These five backups are still out there, and they could give Aaron Glenn some peace of mind behind Smith.
