Tue Mar 11 14:50:00 UTC 2025: **Jets Make Big Moves in NFL Free Agency, Adding Cornerback Stephens and Reportedly Quarterback Fields**
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – The New York Jets have been extremely active in the opening of the NFL’s legal tampering period, making significant moves to reshape their roster. The team reportedly signed quarterback Justin Fields, a move that would replace Aaron Rodgers. To bolster their secondary, they’ve agreed to terms with cornerback Brandon Stephens on a three-year, $36 million deal.
Stephens, 27, joins the Jets after four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. A former third-round draft pick, Stephens has a strong track record, holding opposing quarterbacks to a 64.7 completion percentage and a 106.1 quarterback rating in 2024. He’ll be tasked with filling the void left by DJ Reed, who reportedly signed with the Detroit Lions.
The acquisitions of Stephens and Fields mark a significant shift in the Jets’ strategy. While the team lost several key players this offseason, including Reed, Morgan Moses, Haason Reddick, and Javon Kinlaw, these signings demonstrate a commitment to rebuilding their core. Further details regarding the Fields signing are expected to be released shortly.
