Fields' film room reputation and versatility will be critical to his future career trajectory; his running ability offers more immediate value than his arm, but he showed a higher passing ceiling during his 2024 stint with the Steelers, and teams will evaluate his ability to fit multiple schemes and his game-planning acumen with Andy Reid's veteran coaching staff.PositiveValueJul 24, 2026
Backup quarterback employment in the NFL remains lucrative; Chase Daniel earned $43 million over 13 seasons as a backup despite starting only 5 games, and expected 2026 backups like Jarrett Stidham and Marcus Mariota are each projected to make at least $7 million, suggesting Fields could secure significant earnings even in a reserve role.NegativeProjectionJul 24, 2026
Fields will likely open the 2026 season on the bench with Patrick Mahomes expected to be cleared before training camp; ideally Fields will not see the field except in garbage time or special package plays designed to leverage his rushing ability, though he should receive ample preseason opportunities with top Chiefs players to audition for other teams.NegativeRoleJul 24, 2026
