Jets Scout Quarterbacks for Future

0:00On March 31st, the New York Jets are hunting for the quarterback of the future, and they brought back veteran Geno Smith as a bridge starter for the 2026 season. He's just holding down the fort until they lock in the long-term guy. No franchise savior at number 2 overall in the draft though, since nobody's worth that spot right now. With 8 picks in their pocket, including numbers, 16, 33, and 44, the Jets are eyeing a quarterback later on. They're not rushing the top slot, but building depth smartly for the rebuild. Fans and analysts are buzzing about the Jets' quarterback drought, putting pressure on the front office to nail this class. It's a high stakes move that could flip the team's fortunes or leave them spinning wheels again. Lately, they've been busy scouting talent, hosting dinners and workouts with prospects like Alabama's Thai Simpson, Miami's Carson Beck, Penn State's, Drew Allor, LSU's Garrett Newsmeyer, and even Yukon's Joe Fagnano. Simpson could slide to 16, or they grab someone at 33 overall.

1:03These meetings signal the Jets are casting a wide net, positioning themselves to snag a steal in the middle rounds, and set up for years ahead. I'm Corey with The Story, that's your NFL News Today update, AI-powered, and always on.
