The New York Jets took a calculated swing this offseason when they signed former first-round pick Justin Fields to a two-year, $40 million contract. Fields offered the Jets a high-upside bridge quarterback with the sense of potential the other options on the market didn't really have.
It was a low-risk move with the potential for high reward, as the Jets hoped they might be able to get the best out of Fields with a proper offensive system built around him and a legitimate chance to be the starting QB.
There have been moments where that potential has flashed this summer, but through the first stretch of training camp, the early returns haven’t exactly inspired much confidence.
