Klubnik Set to Shine as Jets Backup | NFL News

The Jets made two waiver pickups—kicker Blake Grupe and linebacker Trevin Wallace—but skipped grabbing a QB, locking in rookie Cade Klubnik as Geno Smith’s backup. With the team in rebuilding mode, Klubnik is poised for significant playing time and could even start games. Despite a shaky preseason (21/34, 197 yards, 1 INT), Jets brass loves his potential and are fully committed to him. Meanwhile, no other QBs were claimed off waivers—Brady Cook went to Miami, Will Levis went unclaimed. Klubnik’s 2026 season is officially underway.
