Show Notes
The New York Jets have traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick, clearing the way for Geno Smith to start. Fields, signed last year for $40 million, started nine games with mixed results. He passed for 1,259 yards, 7 TDs, and 1 INT, while rushing for 383 yards and 4 TDs. Despite some potential, the offense struggled due to injuries and poor passing. The trade is seen as a better option than releasing Fields, as the Jets cover $7 million of his $10 million guarantees and acquire an asset. The team now seeks a reliable backup for Smith, with names like Tyrod Taylor, Carson Wentz, and Cooper Rush in the mix.
