The time has come. It's time to face facts. Not only is the redemption arc for Justin Fields in Gotham dead, but the former 11th overall pick can no longer serve as a bridge quarterback for the New York Jets.
He probably will continue to start the majority of the games in 2025, but as soon as the season comes to a close, it will be time to pull the plug. This is a conclusion the Jets have already come to. The deadline fire sale was the sound of the other shoe dropping.
The Jets will be drafting a quarterback early in 2026, and the way Justin Fields played on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns just solidified the fact that it's the right call.
