One day after Robert Saleh said he wants Mike White to return to the New York Jets next season, the free agent quarterback shared similar feelings about a reunion. “I would love to be back with the Jets,” White told WQAM radio in Miami on Friday. Despite the Jets’ heavy pursuit of Derek Carr, interest […]

As the New York Jets pursue Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers as their top options to replace Zach Wilson as the team’s starting quarterback, Robert Saleh told reporters Thursday that his preference is to carry three good quarterbacks on the roster. “Quarterbacks are gold,” Saleh said. “If you have three guys you have faith in, […]

Minutes after discussing the New York Jets’ pursuit of Derek Carr on Tuesday, general manager Joe Douglas expressed faith that Zach Wilson will fulfill his potential. Such is the Jets’ unique quarterback situation this offseason. They are seeking a veteran No. 1 signal-caller while preaching confidence in the 23-year-old they are looking to replace at […]

The New York Jets are reportedly considering a reunion with quarterback Geno Smith. However, their preference is to acquire either Aaron Rodgers or Derek Carr this offseason to be their quarterback in 2023. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported Monday that the Jets are exploring the possibility of pursuing Smith, who resurrected his career with […]

It appears the New York Jets have gone public with their courting of Derek Carr. After reports surfaced Friday that the Jets would host Carr for a visit this weekend, a picture surfaced on social media of Carr having lunch with Jets brass, including coach Robert Saleh on Saturday. @AdamSchefter Derek Carr and Robert Saleh […]

The New York Jets should not overthink their quarterback decision for 2023: Aaron Rodgers should be under center for them when next season begins. That’s not to say this isn’t a massive decision for the star-crossed franchise. But with all due respect to Jets legend Joe Klecko, who said the Green Bay Packers QB would […]

Joe Namath is convinced that the New York Jets need an upgrade over Zach Wilson at quarterback next season. The Jets legend and Super Bowl III hero didn’t hold back Thursday when asked on the red carpet of the NFL Honors what he thinks will get the team “over the hump.” “I know we need […]

The 2022 season wasn’t a very good one for Mike LaFleur, who got the short end of the stick when it came to working with Zach Wilson and the New York Jets. LaFleur simply couldn’t do anything to solve Wilson’s struggles, and he was ultimately fired from the team’s offensive coordinator role at the end […]

The New York Jets have a lot of work to do this offseason. One of the biggest challenges general manager Joe Douglas faces is creating enough salary cap space to acquire a veteran quarterback like Aaron Rodgers and sign All-Pro Quinnen Williams to a contract extension. We’ll examine which Jets player could be a surprising […]

Sauce Gardner briefly set Twitter ablaze with a tweet directed at Aaron Rodgers on Friday. But the New York Jets corner soon turned down the heat, when he tweeted that he was simply trolling Rodgers, and football fans at the same time. Sauce Gardner just checking in on Aaron Rodgers 😂 pic.twitter.com/jVmk3Yd9kw — PFF (@PFF) […]

With Tom Brady announcing his retirement Wednesday, there’s one less quarterback option for the New York Jets next season. Though he wasn’t likely to ever sign with the Jets, Brady was an intriguing free agent. And now that he’s off the board, that ratchets up the competition for other available quarterbacks this offseason. Truly grateful […]

Speculation is running rampant that the New York Jets will try to trade for Aaron Rodgers this offseason. But the reality of completing a deal with the Green Bay Packers to acquire the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback is complicated. We know the Jets are committed to adding a veteran quarterback to stabilize the position after two […]

Sauce Gardner let it be known where he stands on the possibility the New York Jets could trade for Aaron Rodgers. Appearing on ESPN’s “Fitz and Harry” talk show Thursday, Gardner was asked if he wanted the future Hall of Fame quarterback on the Jets next season. “I mean, you know, I would. I wouldn’t […]

The New York Jets hired Nathaniel Hackett as offensive coordinator Thursday and accomplished two things in the process. First, they brought in a veteran play caller to replace Mike LaFleur, who struggled with the role the past two seasons. And second, they added fuel to the fire that the Jets are interested in acquiring Aaron […]

Backpedaling is one of Sauce Gardner’s many skills as an All-Pro corner with the New York Jets. But did he just prove to be adept at backpedaling off the field, as well? Gardner was called out Thursday by the hosts of Good Morning Football for playing Mike White, and not Zach Wilson, at quarterback in […]

Amid rumors that he could be traded to the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers praised Jets quarterback Zach Wilson on Tuesday. “I think he’s super talented,” the Green Bay Packers QB said of Wilson, who’s struggled mightily his first two NFL seasons. “I think he’s talented enough to have a long career in this League.” […]

The New York Jets have a tough decision to make regarding quarterback Zach Wilson. And the offseason drama is just beginning to unfold ahead of the new league year. Reports emerged that there would be a “mutiny” if the Jets made Wilson the starting quarterback in 2023. These reports stemmed from alleged missed meetings and […]

It appears that at least some people around the NFL believe that Zach Wilson has played his final down with the New York Jets, and that his teammates are not looking for him to return to the field. On Friday, The Score’s Andrew Schultz appeared on The Pat McAfee Show. While on the show, he […]

Joe Namath and No. 12 are synonymous with the New York Jets. Broadway Joe wore that number, coincidentally, for 12 seasons with the Jets, including when he led Gang Green to its only Super Bowl championship, in 1969. But Namath said he’d be happy to let Aaron Rodgers wear No. 12, retired by the team […]

Elijah Moore shocked New York Jets teammates and coaches with a vicious outburst against now-former offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur during the 2022 season, The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt reported Thursday. Rosenblatt says Moore ripped into LaFleur at practice ahead of the Jets’ Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. Reportedly, the wide receiver told the OC […]

Nathaniel Hackett bombed as coach of the Denver Broncos, but could he be the answer for the New York Jets as offensive coordinator? We may soon find out as the Jets are reportedly interviewing Hackett for their OC vacancy, per ESPN’s Dianna Russini. Hackett was fired by the Broncos 15 games into his first season […]

When you lose your final six games, don’t score a touchdown in three straight and miss the playoffs for a 12th consecutive year like the New York Jets did this season, there are many culprits. We’ll examine who the Jets’ five biggest disappointments were in the 2022 NFL season. Before picking apart the carcass, let’s […]

It’s becoming clear that the New York Jets won’t let poor quarterback play sabotage another season in 2023. They haven’t shared their plan for next season, but the Jets are making it clear that fixing the position is priority No. 1 this offseason. Though coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas each stated his […]

There’s quite a bit Garrett Wilson will want to replicate from this season moving forward with the New York Jets. Losing six straight again is something he wants no part of in the future, however. “It can’t ever happen again,” Wilson said Monday. The Jets missed the playoffs for a 12th consecutive year after losing […]

Zach Wilson made it perfectly clear that he’s willing to fight to be the No. 1 quarterback for the New York Jets next season. When asked Monday how he’d handle things if the Jets brought in a veteran quarterback during the offseason, Wilson cut right to the chase. “I’m going to make that dude’s life […]

Robert Saleh doesn’t appear to completely agree with Mike LaFleur’s assessment that the New York Jets erred in making Zach Wilson their starting quarterback as a rookie in 2021. The Jets coach stated that having Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft, start right away was indeed the right decision. “If we’re […]

There’s one final twist in the New York Jets‘ quarterback saga for 2022. Joe Flacco will start the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Miami Dolphins. Mike White was scheduled to start but will not be able to because of his injured ribs. White started three games after Zach Wilson was benched ahead of Week […]

Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur became the first person from the New York Jets to admit quarterback Zach Wilson may have been mishandled by the organization. “Through two years, we haven’t done our job with him,” LaFleur said Thursday. Mike LaFleur says, in hindsight, that Zach Wilson would've benefited from sitting and learning behind a veteran […]

Robert Saleh took a leap Wednesday, comparing how Zach Wilson must master a different style of play as New York Jets quarterback to the same challenge Patrick Mahomes once faced with the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s probably the only time the struggling second-year pro has been mentioned in the same breath this season as the […]

For the 12th straight year, the New York Jets will not be in the NFL playoffs. It is the longest drought in franchise history, one punctuated by a stunning collapse down the stretch this season. We’ll examine which Jets are most to blame for missing the playoffs. The Jets lost their fifth straight game last […]

The second season of the Zach Wilson show for the New York Jets has gone horribly off-script in the worst way possible. Despite finding more team success this year, the former BYU QB continued his struggles from last year. He was benched not once, but twice this year, despite not having any major injuries. Surely, […]

There are myriad reasons why Zach Wilson is no longer the unquestioned No. 1 quarterback for the New York Jets. At the top of the list is his erratic play in the passing game and inability to complete a high percentage of his throws. Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur believes he knows where the problem starts […]

Mike White is once again replacing the benched Zach Wilson as starting quarterback for the New York Jets. It is not something that the journeyman QB takes lightly. “Anytime you’re named the starter, you wear that badge with honor,” White said Wednesday after practice. Mike White was asked about being the starter for the final […]

The New York Jets did not fix all their problems on offense simply by replacing Zach Wilson with Mike White at quarterback. Their offensive issues run much deeper than one player or one position. In the words of coach Robert Saleh, their running game has been “putrid.” Games are being lost at the line of […]

C.J. Mosley is clearly on board with the New York Jets starting Mike White at quarterback for the rest of this season. The defensive captain said as much after coach Robert Saleh announced the decision to again bench Zach Wilson at the position. “It’ll be good,” Mosley said Monday. “[White has] proven that he can […]

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh says a recent report saying the team will move on from Zach Wilson after this season is “all speculation,” although Wilson will be inactive for the Jets’ New Year’s Day game against the Seattle Seahawks. “We are not quitting on the young man,” Saleh said on Monday, according […]

New York Jets’ quarterback Mike White was reportedly cleared by doctors and is expected to play on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, per Brian Costello. White has emerged as New York’s most reliable QB option in 2022. However, he’s dealt with injury concerns over the past couple of weeks. The Jets have their sights set […]

The New York Jets have made it clear that Zach Wilson is not their franchise guy. The former no. 2 overall pick has just been awful so far, leading to his benching in a Week 16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chris Streveler took over as Mike White looks to recover from injuries to his […]

It’s been a miserable season for New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, who stunk up the joint on Thursday night in an embarrassing performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars, ultimately getting replaced by ex-CFL QB Chris Streveler. While it’s just his second year in the NFL, Jets fans are clearly done with him. And according to […]
