Justin Fields Explains Why He Chose To Sign With Jets
Justin Fields JetsLeading up to the start of the legal tampering period in the NFL, quarterback Justin Fields was connected heavily to both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets, both of which offered an opportunity to start in 2025 — and potentially beyond.
Ultimately, Fields made his choice to move on from the Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin, signing a two-year, $40 million deal with the Jets with $30 million guaranteed.
He hadn’t done any interviews since leaving the Steelers for the Jets, but on Thursday morning on newyorkjets.com, Fields revealed the reasoning behind why he left the Steelers for the bright lights of New York.
