It’s been Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s preference to have a reserve quarterback with NFL experience, and that is especially important this year because it’s unknown if Patrick Mahomes will return from knee surgery for the season’s opener. Mahomes tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee in mid-December, and the team has estimated a nine-month recovery. The Chiefs received a backup quarterback Monday, as multiple national outlets reported the New York Jets are set to trade quarterback Justin Fields to Kansas City. The Chiefs will send the Jets a 2027 sixth-round pick in exchange for the quarterback. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero added the Chiefs will pay just $3 million of the $10 million salary that Fields was guaranteed in 2026. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Fields, who must pass a physical, had other suitors, but his preference was the Chiefs. Read more about the Chiefs’ trade at the link in our bio.
