While a fresh start may prove what Justin Fields needs at this stage of his career, he'll have to show that he can develop as a passer and be more than just a short-term starter with the Jets.

The New York Jets have signed Super Bowl champion wide receiver Tyler Johnson as a new pass catcher for QB Justin Fields in free agency.

The New York Jets landed themselves a new quarterback, inking Justin Fields to a two-year, $40 million deal. Following the Aaron Rodgers experiment from hell, the Jets are taking a flier on the former No. 11 overall pick.

Fields, who turned 26 on March 5, spent last year with the Steelers and went 4-2 as the team's starting quarterback.

The Jets saw enough of Fields to sign him to a two-year, $40 million contract with $30 million guaranteed. With the Steelers, Fields completed 65.8% of his passes for 1,106 yards and five touchdowns to one interception.
