Justin Fields has ‘no reaction’ to Jets benching: ‘S–t happens’
NY Post
It’s been a game of hide and seek with the media and Justin Fields after the quarterback was benched in favor of backup Tyrod Taylor on Monday.
After requests were put in to speak to Fields throughout the week, The Post’s Brian Costello caught the former first-round draft pick at his locker Friday.
Fields was about to head out for a massage, saying he didn’t have time to talk, but he did answer a brief question about his reaction to the switch.
“There’s no reaction,” Fields answered. “That’s life. S–t happens.”
The Jets signed Fields to a two-year, $40 million contract that included $30 million guaranteed after deciding to move on from Aaron Rodgers and start anew.
He was named the starter instantly but it turned out to be no fresh start for Fields.
