QB Tiers - Where Is Jets' Justin Fields?
QB Tiers - Where Is Jets' Justin Fields? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Quarterback rankings, for the most part, are subjective, but when looking at New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields, he can be tough to get a proper read on. Advertisement Four years in the NFL, and now on his third different team, and nothing more than glimpses of his talent, have surrounded the former first-rounder. Now with the Jets, in what is looking like his last chance to prove he is a viable starter in the league, Justin has a clear runway to give 2025 his best shot yet. For CBS Sports in putting all quarterbacks into tiers, Fields, to no one's surprise, lands in Tier 6 - Holdovers and Placeholders. "Fields can pass the eye test with flying colors; he looks the part with his athleticism, which once helped him clear 1,100 rushing yards (!) as the Bears' starter," CBS Sports writes. "Still, he's now on his third team in five seasons, and neither of his previous clubs could figure out how to prioritize ball protection while maximizing his gifts." Justin Fields And The JetsBy Tony Fisher The Jets played it well with Fields. A two-year, $40 million deal that has escapability after 2025 if things go south. If Justin plays well, they have their starting quarterback for 2026 under contract for just $20 million. Advertisement Tick and tick. But if we are being serious, the Jets would like to see Fields take the step many have been waiting for since he was drafted. The physical gifts are clear to see, but can Fields "play" quarterback to a high-enough level when he can be the driver for Tanner Engstrand's offense? Yes, Fields is a placeholder right now, but if things go his way in 2025, he won't be a placeholder any longer - he'll be the bona fide starter.

Cowboys Rumor Includes Mexico Visit in Schedule Future
The Dallas Cowboys have their full 2025 schedule and the excitement is abundant per usual when the team has a 0-0 record. Games are still months away but the extremely early forecasts and predictions have fans buzzing about the new-look Cowboys already. Dallas touts six primetime games and a total of eight standalone games, including their blockbuster Thanksgiving Day game against the Kansas City Chiefs and their Christmas Day bout with the Washington Commanders. Advertisement Unsurprisingly, the league capitalized on its biggest draw to feature some marquee matchups and perhaps lifted up the quality of otherwise mediocre contests on paper. But there was one aspect of the schedule the Cowboys were notably left out of. The NFL has launched its most grand International Series campaign to date with games spread across Brazil, Ireland, Germany and the United Kingdom. Some speculation had the Cowboys facing the New York Jets in London, but that clearly never came to fruition. However, a prime opportunity could be around the corner when the time comes for the 2026 schedule. The NFL has notably not had Mexico in its rotation for the last couple years. That could be set to change. During an ESPN Mexico broadcast last season, insider Jeff Sutcliffe reported that there is some buzz around the the league heading back to Mexico. Advertisement "I've heard the Houston Texans want to go to (Estadio) Azteca as the home team (in 2025), the Cowboys would go in 2026." Now the first half of that rumor did not work out, but the stars could align for a return to Mexico City for 2026. Estadio Azteca has undergone significant renovations ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup set to kickoff next summer and Mexico serving as a host nation. With those complete, what better way to make a return than bringing the most popular sports franchise in the world who happens to be right next door? Dallas Cowboys in Mexico By Tony Fisher It makes for a slam dunk addition to the league's International Series and the Cowboys should draw an incredible crowd. We think Jerry Jones and his crew would be more than interested in making it happen. Advertisement For now, Cowboys fans will have to settle with the schedule for 2025 and prepare for a major campaign with their reloaded squad.
