FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- From the moment they signed Justin Fields, the New York Jets have done everything except rent billboard space in Times Square to affirm their commitment to him as QB1.
First, there was the contract -- two years, $40 million, including $30 million guaranteed. Then came support from team officials, followed by repeated, unspoken nods in the draft -- seven picks, no quarterback selections.
On his third team in three years, Fields is getting plenty of love from the Jets, who hope he can be more than a post-Aaron Rodgers transition quarterback.
