The Jets were quiet on Day 2 of free agency after<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/10/sports/jets-choose-justin-fields-as-new-qb-with-40m-nfl-free-agency-contract/"> adding a new quarterback Monday</a>.&nbsp;

Here are some thoughts on their free agency so far.&nbsp;

1. I understand some pessimism about Justin Fields. He is 14-30 as an NFL quarterback and is now on his third team. But I do think that once they decided to move on from Aaron Rodgers, Fields became the best of a bunch of flawed options for the Jets.&nbsp;

Fields is just 26 years old, is a mobile quarterback and has a strong arm. That separates him from a lot of the other candidates — many of whom are old and immobile. Fields gives the Jets a shot. The pressure now is going to be on new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand to figure out how to bring out his best and capitalize on what he does well.&nbsp;

Justin Fields has almost everything he needs to overhaul the Jets offense
