Instead of big spending, the team plans to target experienced signal callers recently cut by other clubs, signing them on the chief for around $1.3 million. This year, the Jets rotated through Justin Fields, Tyra Taylor, and Brady Cook under center. But that mixed fell flat and couldn't spark the offense. With the 2026 league year kicking off March 11th, their eyeing free agents like Kyler Murray, Geno Smith, and possibly Tua, Tago Veloa, if he's released. League Insiders see Geno Smith as the front runner after the Las Vegas Raiders cut him Friday to make room for their top draft pick in the anus. Fernando Mendoza, Smith, whom the Jets selected in the second round back in 2013, could return

home as a low-cost veteran. Meanwhile, reports suggest offensive coordinator Frank Reich prefers Carson Wins, his former teammate from Philadelphia and Indianapolis. If head coach Aaron Glinn and general manager Darren Moogie agree, Wins might get the nod over others. The Jets hold the second and 16th picks in the upcoming draft, where they could grab a prospect like Alabama's Ty Simpson. Fans won't wait long to see moves in free agency and trades as the team hunts for its next starter.
