Jets Seek Key Draft Targets for New QB Justin Fields

The New York Jets are moving on from the Aaron Rodgers era, having signed Justin Fields as their new quarterback on a two-year deal. The Jets are expected to trade down from their No. 7 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to acquire more picks, with a potential deal involving the Pittsburgh Steelers. Analysts suggest that trading down to the 21st pick could allow the Jets to select tight end Colston Loveland, who would enhance their offense, particularly given the lack of production from their tight ends last season. Additionally, there is speculation about drafting Syracuse QB Kyle McCord as a backup option, indicating the Jets are keeping their options open at the quarterback position. While Fields is seen as a bridge quarterback, the success of the Jets' offseason hinges on his performance and ability to stabilize the team. The new coaching staff, led by Aaron Glenn, is focused on building a competitive roster around Fields to improve their offensive output.
