The Green Bay Packers have their QB1 situation locked down with Jordan Love, but the backup quarterback spot is a different story. Malik Willis, who has shown potential as a future starter while backing up Love, is expected to seek a bigger contract elsewhere. This makes him a hot commodity in the NFL free agency market for teams in need of a quarterback.
Rumors are swirling about who might fill the void if Willis departs. One intriguing possibility is Justin Fields from the New York Jets.
According to David Haugh from the "Mully and Haugh" podcast, Fields could be on the move as the Jets reassess their quarterback lineup. The connection between Fields and Packers quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy adds an interesting twist to the ever-evolving Bears-Packers rivalry.
Fields, who was the 11th overall pick, had a challenging 2025 season with the Jets, playing in nine games and recording 1,259 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. While there's no concrete evidence linking Fields to Green Bay just yet, it's a situation worth keeping an eye on as the offseason progresses. The potential addition of Fields could add another layer of intrigue to one of the NFL's most storied rivalries.
