Forget the press conferences and all the dramatic goodbyes—Justin Fields is doing his own thing. After leaving his ‘ex-love’ Steelers team jersey for a Jets one. His first move isn’t even about football. He’s out in Dubai, vibing with friends and NFL stars, staying low-key, and dodging the media hype. And he might just be starting something new!
While his friend’s Instagram story caption joked about him making his “Goes to Dubai once, does first TikTok“. Fields’ actual TikTok page is still empty. So either he’s keeping that content locked away for now, or he’s just not ready to be a full-on influencer yet. Either way, this is his first public move since the Jets announced they were bringing him in, making it a pretty big deal. A fresh start, a new team, and an offseason trip to Dubai? Not a bad way to kick things off.
Fields landed a two-year, $40 million deal with the Jets, with a solid $30 million guaranteed. After a short run with the Steelers—where he held things down with a 4-2 record as a starter—he found himself playing backup when Russell Wilson took over. Now, in New York, he’s got a real shot at proving he’s more than just a fill-in. Plus, reuniting with his former Ohio State teammate Garrett Wilson? That’s got potential written all over it.
Meanwhile, over in Pittsburgh, Fields’ former teammates have been pretty chill about his departure. No hard feelings, just the usual ‘it’s a business‘ kind of vibe. They appreciated what he brought to the team. Fields making a move elsewhere was inevitable. Now, it’s all eyes on him in New York to see if he can turn this new gig into something big.
And honestly, Fields is already making the most of this moment—because there are 40 million reasons for him to be celebrating. Bleacher Report posted a video of Fields and his crew in Dubai, where he partied alongside fellow NFL stars Micah Parsons, Bijan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts. The clip shows the group hyping up the scene as staffers waved sparklers and held up a champagne bottle. Fields and Pitts were clearly feeling the vibes, chanting along with the crowd in what looked like a high-energy celebration.
Though the video doesn’t confirm exactly when the party went down, it’s safe to assume this was a post-signing celebration. And who wouldn’t be all smiles after locking in a multi-million-dollar contract? The Jets are paying Fields a solid bag to be their guy after the Steelers pushed him aside for Wilson last season. Now, the real question is: Can he turn this fresh start into a breakout moment?
For now, though? He’s soaking up the sun, enjoying some well-earned downtime, and maybe—just maybe—gearing up to drop that first TikTok.
Jets’ new QB Justin Fields gets the ultimate team welcome
The Jets’ new QB, Justin Fields, is already getting some serious hype from his teammates. Tight end Jeremy Ruckert couldn’t hide his excitement, posting, “Big time!!

A big part of the excitement comes from Fields reuniting with his old Ohio State teammate, Garrett Wilson. The two already have major chemistry, having linked up for 1,155 yards and 11 touchdowns in college. Wilson’s been vocal about how much he’s looking forward to playing with Fields again in the NFL. Saying, “Definitely to link back up with Justin at the NFL level would be a dream come true, for sure.” So, yeah, you can expect them to hit the ground running once the season kicks off.
The Jets aren’t just hoping Fields will be a good fit—they’re betting on his potential to really boost their offense. With his athleticism and dual-threat ability, they’re confident he can take the offense to the next level. Plus, he’s got solid mentorship lined up, with veteran QB Tyrod Taylor ready to help guide him through the transition.
All in all, the Jets seem pretty pumped about Fields’ arrival. The locker room’s buzzing with energy, and it’s clear they’re ready to get to work together. Fans are excited too, and now it’s up to Fields to turn all that hype into some serious plays on the field this season.
