Jets predicted to add $60 million star playmaker to help Justin Fields

The New York Jets want to spot if Justin Fields tin beryllium their semipermanent reply astatine backmost successful 2025. The 26-year-old signed a two-year deal pinch New York successful free agency this offseason aft showing immoderate committedness pinch nan Pittsburgh Steelers successful 2025, and pinch nan Jets not selecting a backmost successful April's draft, they are fresh to springiness Fields an opportunity to person a long-awaited breakout campaign.

Though Fields has a productive and tin No.1 receiver successful Garrett Wilson, New York should look to adhd different playmaker to nan discourtesy for their starting signal-caller. Allen Lazard is fine, but he doesn't move nan needle overmuch arsenic nan No.2 receiver.

There aren't that galore high-level pass-catchers near connected nan market, but Bleacher Report's Alex Kay proposes a waste and acquisition that would nonstop Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton to nan Jets for a 2026 fourth-round prime and a 2027 seventh-round pick.

"The New York Jets could beryllium very willing successful Sutton’s services if he’s made available. The receiver would supply acold amended support than caller backmost Justin Fields’ existent options aft Wilson and gives nan squad a amended chance of making a postseason foray," Kay wrote.

Sutton is coming disconnected 1 of nan champion years of his profession successful 2024, arsenic he tallied a career-high 81 receptions for 1,081 yards and 8 touchdowns successful 17 games. The seasoned receiver has posted astatine slightest 700 yards successful each patient play of his profession and is 1 of nan astir underrated playmakers successful nan sport.

Though Sutton would beryllium a awesome summation to New York's discourtesy and shape an electrical duo pinch Wilson, location is zero chance Denver would waste and acquisition him. Sutton is entering nan last twelvemonth of his woody successful 2025, but nan 29-year-old's relationship pinch backmost Bo Nix and stellar play successful 2024 will apt lead to nan Broncos giving him a lucrative hold earlier he hits nan market.

Additionally, nan Jets person to fig retired an hold pinch their ain prima receiver successful Wilson, truthful nan franchise apt won't person capable money to besides motion Sutton to a caller woody aft trading valuable draught superior for him.

Sutton landing pinch Wilson and Fields successful New York would beryllium exhilarating. However, it's difficult to envision a world wherever nan erstwhile Pro Bowl receiver isn't successful Denver for nan foreseeable future.
