Jets consider Andy Dalton as potential backup quarterback option

The New York Jets are exploring the possibility of acquiring Andy Dalton as a veteran backup quarterback. This comes after rookie Cade Klubnik struggled in his second preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he completed 10-of-14 passes for 75 yards and was sacked twice. Dalton's position with the Philadelphia Eagles is uncertain, as he appears to be losing the backup role to Tanner McKee, who performed well in a recent game. As the NFL's 53-man roster deadline approaches, Dalton could be available for trade or release, prompting the Jets to take notice.
