The New York Jets are reportedly moving on from Justin Fields as their starting quarterback.
The team is set to name Tyrod Taylor the starter for their Week 12 game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to multiple reports. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn opened the door to a change at the position last week, noting that he would evaluate all positions.

“I’m evaluating everything,” he told reporters via the team’s website. “I evaluate myself, the players, schemes, coaches, I evaluate everything. So I don’t want to just put everything on the one situation [quarterback].
“I’m just looking at everything because as a head coach it’s my job to make sure I put this team in the best position to win games.”
Fields has struggled throughout his first season with the Gang Green, and with the playoffs becoming more and more out of reach, Glenn has apparently decided to make a change.
Without Garrett Wilson in the team’s 27-14 loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday night, Fields was 15-of-26 with 116 passing yards and a touchdown pass. He was fired twice.

Fields has thrown for less than 100 yards four times this season. The team is 25th in points scored and 29th in yards.
Taylor is a veteran NFL quarterback who has mostly been relegated to the backup role in his career. He was a 2011 sixth-round draft pick out of Virginia Tech. He has played for the Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans and New York Giants before joining the Jets in 2024.
While Taylor has had some bad luck at times in his career, he has proven more than capable of taking the reins as a starter.
