New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor said he is ready to "support" Justin Fields in a backup role ahead of the 2025 season.

For a three-week period in the New York Jets' offseason -- from the Feb. 13 announcement that Aaron Rodgers would be released to the start of free agency in March -- Tyrod Taylor was thought to be a fallback option for the starting quarterback job.

Last year with the Steelers, Fields was 4-2 as the starter, threw for five touchdowns, one interception, while having a career-high completion percentage of 65.8, and throwing for 1,106 yards. He also had 289 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
