The NY Jets have a new quarterback in town, and his name is Justin Fields. The Jets have agreed to terms on a two-year, $40 million contract with Fields that includes $30 million in guarantees.

The expectation is that Fields, a 2021 first-round pick, will take over as the Jets' starting quarterback in 2025. When the Jets made the decision to move on from Aaron Rodgers, reports made it clear that they were targeting Fields as their preferred replacement.

Fields brings a level of upside that no other veteran bridge quarterback on the market could offer. The former Ohio State star played some of the most efficient football of his career with the Steelers last season, and the Jets will be hoping to unlock even more of his untapped potential.

The Jets' quarterback room will look a little different in 2025, but just how different? Here's an updated look at the team's quarterback depth chart after the Fields addition.

3	Jordan Travis
4	Adrian Martinez

Fields joins a quarterback room that also features the likes of veteran journeyman Tyrod Taylor, 2024 fifth-round pick Jordan Travis, and former UFL standout Adrian Martinez, who the team signed to a futures deal in January.

While Taylor figures to factor into the quarterback mix, the assumption is that Fields will be the unquestioned starter entering the year. Taylor projects as the backup while Travis and Martinez will compete for the third-string job in training camp.

The Jets could also look to target a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft and add another name to their QB room. That's unlikely to happen with pick No. 7 overall in the first round, but it wouldn't be a shock to see the Jets land someone on Day 2 or Day 3.

For now, however, this is the quarterback room the Jets are rolling with in 2025. Fields gives the Jets a high-upside bridge starter while Taylor returns as the steady, reliable backup. Not a bad scenario for the Jets in a very weak quarterback market.
