The are looking to turn their franchise around, and to do so, one of the main things the Jets need to figure out is the quarterback room.  Justin Fields was Freddie Freeman Jersey  a $40 million disaster, and the team now needs to find a new quarterback. While there are plenty of options in the trade and free agent market, the top option might be a little risky for the Jets.  As noted, the Jets are a potential landing spot for the top QB on the market, who's projected to land a $60 million contract, who just so happens to have a similar skillset to Fields.  Jets linked to $60M QB with similar playstyle to Justin Fields  "Malik Willis, QB, . Projected contract: Two years, $60 million," Manzano writes. "Potential landing spots: , Jets."  Malik Willis is a quarterback who's spent two years with the and the last two years with the Green Bay Packers. While his Titans days were rough, he's shown some promise with the Packers.  The last two seasons, Willis has 972 pa sing yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions on a 78.7% completion rate in 11 games and three starts.  While those are some solid numbers in such limited action, the rushing ability is why Willis is such an intriguing QB option in free agency, and why he's similar in skillset to Fields.  More  :  Willis ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns on 22 attempts last season, and the year before in 2024, he ran for 138 yards and a touchdown on 20 attempts.  The Jets could target Willis as a high-upside quarterback in free agency. While this $60 million, two-year projection isn't a cheap contract to hand out, it's one the Jets have the money to splurge on thanks to $80 million in cap space.  And with the lackluster quarterback options available for trade and in free agency, not to mention the barren draft cla s, the Jets taking a chance on Willis makes some sense.  Breece Hall is slated to come back, and with four picks inside the top 50 for the Jets in the 2026 NFL Draft, they should be able to bring in some talent for the offense to round out the unit to give Willis, or whoever the new QB is, a chance to succeed right away.  More Jets news:  Kevin Kiermaier Jersey
