00:00Justin the jet Justin Fields testing the free agency waters makes his way to New York on a two
00:07year 40 million dollar deal to take the reins under new guidance in New York with gangrene
00:1430 million dollars guaranteed Justin Fields who just turned 26 earlier this month about a week
00:22ago after four years in the NFL started the first six games for Pittsburgh a season ago now the
00:29newest QB for the New York Jets Donnie you have been fond of this new regime for this Jets
00:35franchise Aaron Glenn the new head coach Darren Muji the new GM what did you make of this move
00:40in the signing of Justin Fields yesterday I thought it was great now let's understand both
00:45parties here involved like Justin Fields feels like you know I came into the NFL didn't get a
00:49lot of help in Chicago then I go over to the Pittsburgh Steelers I never even got a chance
00:53to play with them so it's interesting that you were hearing behind the scenes Justin Fields
00:56saying I'm not going to play for the Steelers unless you tell me like I'm the starter like
00:59I don't want any competition you danced around it last year you know I had a winning record I
01:03didn't get to play much there and it was apparent that you didn't like me as the franchise so I
01:07thought it was his best to move on but also you saw me put out on Twitter and talk about it
01:11yesterday saying you know now that you have different components in Pittsburgh and added
01:15wide receivers it's up to you to get a true pocket passer and Fields wasn't that so the
01:18next best move was okay I'm going to get out of town where can I go go to a franchise that's not
01:23going to have any pressure next year to win which means you can work out the kinks you can put your
01:27work ethic in you can show that organization you can be that franchise guy on a good contract for
01:33him but a look-see contract per se for the Jets themselves the Jets are coming in here with Garrett
01:38Wilson and as you said he liked that move Garrett Wilson likes anything other than Aaron Rodgers
01:42says I'm the number one wide receiver here you brought all your friends and all you do is throw
01:46them the football anything would be better than Aaron Rodgers so yes he's going to be excited but
01:50also understand this if Justin Fields fails it means they didn't have a good season and they can
01:54find their quarterback of the future in the draft if Justin Fields is good you go wow I just signed
02:00my guy didn't have to use draft capital found my franchise guy now let's build around this guy and
02:05give him the weapons he never had in Chicago because most people just feel like oh Justin
02:09Fields you know average player in the NFL what are the Jets actually doing understand what the
02:14prognosis for the Jets is this year clean house find young talent that's willing to win and if
02:19you do start to build for the future we've said it all along Ben at least I did as well when you
02:24get a new head coach in town it's okay for you to say hey let's keep everybody around because this
02:29is a free year they got right to business here the Jets finally as I said for their fan base you got
02:35your franchise back it's time for the good times to roll it might not equate to wins and losses
02:40this year but I love what we're doing as a foundation for this team Ben.
