"The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a trade with the New York Jets for quarterback Justin Fields, landing a new backup for Patrick Mahomes. According to multiple reports, the Chiefs will send a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Jets in exchange for Fields, who leaves the Jets after just one season in New York."
"He will now attempt to revitalise his career playing under Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, with Kansas City filling a hole at backup quarterback left by Gardner Minshew's departure in free agency. While Fields has not been signed as a starter for the Chiefs, he will get plenty of time working with the starting offense ahead of the new campaign."
"As such, a trade to Kansas City does represent a potential opportunity for Fields to prove he can thrive in the right situation. Fields has arguably never been in an advantageous situation in his NFL career. He was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024 after three losing seasons in Chicago before signing with a rebuilding Jets team."
The Kansas City Chiefs traded a 2027 sixth-round pick to the New York Jets to acquire quarterback Justin Fields as a backup to Patrick Mahomes. Fields spent one season with the Jets after signing a two-year contract, appearing in nine games with a 2-7 record as a starter before suffering a season-ending injury in December. He will now work with Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, filling the backup quarterback position vacated by Gardner Minshew's free agency departure. Mahomes is recovering from a torn ACL and LCL suffered in December and aims to return for Week 1 of the 2026 season. The Chiefs finished 2025 with a 6-11 record, their first losing season since 2012, ending their streak of seven consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances.
