Jets' QB Dilemma: Value or Upside?

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is NFL News Today. Subscribe to keep up with every headline, every game. The New York Chets face a tough quarterback decision this off-season. They need a veteran to step in. But trade options like Jacobi Berset or Davis Mills are not worth the draft picks. Free agency looks bleak too, with no real stars available. The top choices come cheap due to contract offsets, making them value plays despite their flaws. Having the pack is Kyler Murray, who could be had at league minimum salary. Even his recent underwhelming play would upgrade the Jets position under center. Something they have not seen in over a decade. Right behind him sits Tua Tagolvayoa, another minimum deal candidate with concussion worries, but solid production in good situations. Kurt Cousins rounds out the top tier, a declining veteran who still knows how to run an offense better than most recent Jets signal callers. Those might cringe at some names, like Cousins, who many still blame for past leverage plays against the team.

Lower down, upside bets include Malik Willis, who flashed promise in limited action or a Mitchell-Tribusky revival after years as a backup. No Smith could make a storyline return at minimum cost, fresh off-competent starts with Seattle. These are gambles on untapped potential. Bottom options like Joe Flacco, or Marcus Mariotta, drag the group down, while names like Carson Wentz scream rebuild mode. No matter the pick, the Jets might still eye a top 5 draft slot next year.
