Jets Host Wilson, Draft Klubnik: Quarterback Battle Brews

On April 29th, the New York Jets are hunting quarterback options for the 2026 season, and they just hosted veteran Russell Wilson for a visit.

They're eyeing him as a potential backup to Gino Smith, their main guy after trading for him from the Las Vegas Raiders.

Meanwhile, the Jets grabbed Clemson quarterback, Cade Klubnik, and the fourth round of this year's draft, building depth in a crowded room.

Wilson and Smith go way back, having teamed up as starters for the Seattle Seahawks back in the day.

Coming off of Brutal 3 and 14 record last season, Jets fans are starving for playoff contention and see these moves as a fresh start.

The team's coaches have been grooming Smith as the top option since Justin Fields bounced.

Wilson only played six games for the New York Giants in 2025, putting up 831 passing yards alongside Rookie Jackson.

Now with the Jets exploring every angle, their quarterback battles shapes up as one to watch heading into training camp.
