NFL analyst names New York Giants as best fit for QB Justin Fields

The New York Giants are in the market for quarterbacks this offseason, both for the short- and long-term.

One player who will be available in free agency next month might fit both of those roles — former Bears and Steelers quarterback Justin Fields.

FOX Sports has the 26-year-old Fields rated fourth among free agent quarterbacks this offseason.

The Steelers coaching staff had Fields make smart, snappy decisions in their offense. As a result, his interception percentage dropped from 2.4% in 2023 to 0.6% in 2024. He had the highest completion percentage (65.8) and quarterback rating (93.3) of his career. It’s still sort of foggy whether Mike Tomlin made the right decision to bench Fields and turn things over to Russell Wilson, who fizzled out at the end of the year. If the 25-year-old Fields doesn’t return to Pittsburgh as QB1, another team will see the way the Steelers reset his fundamentals. He’s still a project, but the bones are good.

How do the Giants fit in? ESPN’s Benjamin Solak believes the improving Fields would be a match for the Giants and head coach Brian Daboll, who has had success in developing running quarterbacks.

The Giants could still draft a quarterback or even add another experienced starter to their room but this idea appears to make sense.

Only if it works, that is. If it fails, it will be just be another swing and a miss for general manager Joe Schoen.
