Justin Fields has decided to enter free agency for the first time in his career. The former first-round pick will be eligible to hear offers from other teams starting on Monday after Fields did not re-sign with the Steelers prior to the start of the league's legal tampering period.

A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that the New York Jets and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields have agreed to a two-year contract worth $40 million.
