New York Jets News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Jets' New Quarterback: Smith & Backup Plan. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 2nd, the New York Jets had a rough quarterback ride last season with Justin Fields, Tyra Taylor, and even Brady Cook stepping in late. But none of them clicked. This off-season, they shipped fields to the Kansas City Chiefs, let Taylor hit free agency, and pulled off a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders to land, Geno Smith as their new starter. Head coach Aaron Glenn is all in on Smith leading the team forward. Now the Jets are hunting for a solid backup before the NFL draft kicks off. They need someone reliable behind Smith, especially since they do not have a locked-in franchise guy yet. Fans and insiders are buzzing about the locker room vibe, with Taylor being a fan favorite who brought leadership without even playing much. The team is feeling the pressure to stabilize after last year's mess, and adding experience can make a big difference in a tough division. Top options on the table include Spencer Ratler from the New Orleans Saints, who lost his starting spot and might be available as a trade chib. Resigning Taylor makes sense for his veteran smarts, or they could chase Russell Wilson from the New York Giants for that proven
leadership and arm strength. With the draft around the corner, keep eyes on these moves, as the Jets aim to build depth and avoid another quarterback carousel.
