About this episode
The New York Jets are contemplating a unique strategy for their 2026 quarterback position, potentially signing two veteran passers to compete, similar to the Giants approach last year. Top contenders include Geno Smith and Carson Wentz, who have connections to the team. However, this plan may lead to short-term fixes and confusion over playing time. The Jets might bypass drafting a quarterback this year due to a weak class, focusing instead on aggressive deals in free agency.

For the NFL, it's March 6th, here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The New York Jets are exploring a quirky plan for their 2026 starting quarterback spot. They're considering signing two veteran passers to compete, much like the New York Giants did last year by adding Russell Wilson and James Winston. Agents who talk to Jets staff at the NFL Combine say the team leans toward this approach. Top names in the mix are Geno Smith, a former Jets who found success in Seattle before rough stint with the Raiders this season, and Carson Wentz, who has a strong bond with the Jets' new offensive coordinator, Frank Reich, that Giants move didn't pan out well, leaving fans skeptical. For the Jets, it might mean dumping Justin Fields and dealing with short-term fixes from aging quarterbacks, plus confusion over playing time right. Away, the Giants played it smarter by drafting Jackson Dart to learn behind the vets before stepping up. This year's quarterback draft class lack star power, so the Jets might skip that step.
Expect the Jets to chase deals aggressively in the thin free agency quarterback market as they hunt for competition. This DNN story is thanks to our sponsor details in the description. Press play. Put your head down. The sound is already there. L-I-SoliPillow.com.
